Expanding into Mechanical Engineering (in Building Services) – CPD Options for an Electrical Engineer (MIET)

Hello everyone,

I am an IEng &  MIET specializing in Building Services Engineering – Electrical. I've been workiong in the industry for almost 8 Years now. 

I am looking to expand my knowledge into mechanical aspects of building services, particularly in areas like HVAC, fire protection, plumbing, and BMS integration.

Since I prefer structured learning with formal recognition, I am specifically looking for CPD-certified courses that are recognized within the industry. My main focus is on:

  • Short Courses or CPD programs (rather than a full MSc)
  • IET-accredited or industry-recognized certifications (e.g., CIBSE, ASHRAE, BCIA, or other relevant providers)
  • Courses that provide a solid foundation in mechanical systems for someone with an electrical background

Does anyone have recommendations for IET-endorsed CPD programs or other reputable short courses that would be beneficial for an electrical engineer moving into the mechanical side of building services?

Also, I do really appreciate if anyone can suggest me with any other mean of studying (any resources for self studying) however I am also looking for a paper qualification. 

Looking forward to your insights!

Thanks in advance.
