Mentoring and Training
Sharing knowledge, exchanging ideas and building a learning culture.
Regular training and professional development are key to the success of our growing team.
The MLA Masterclass is our in-house programme of CPDs, talks and presentations on important issues in the built environment. In the last year this has included training on The Building Safety Act 2022, asbestos awareness and sex inequality in the design of public spaces.
Site visits are a regular part of our learning and development programme. An opportunity to share knowledge, innovative solutions and lessons learned, we encourage our team to get involved as much as possible.

“Having progressed with MLA from a summer intern to a qualified architect, I’ve been consistently supported in my professional development. Early exposure to project responsibility, combined with opportunities to work across a diverse range of sectors, has allowed me to refine my skills at every stage - all within an office culture that is collaborative and genuinely enjoyable to be part of. ”
