Continuing Education

Supporting architects with inspiring educational options and career development is critical to our success. You can attend educational events with AIA National and at conferences. Last year AIA Cleveland offered over 50 programs with 30 HSW credits.

 

ANNUAL BENCHMARKS

AIA measures continuing education in Learning Units (LUs). One hour of continuing education earns one LU. AIA Architect members are required to complete 18 LUs from registered AIA/CES providers each year. Of the 18 LUs, 12 must be in the topic areas of health, safety, and welfare (HSW).

GETTING CREDIT

Look for AIA-approved providers to earn LUs that apply to your AIA requirements. When you take a course, provide your AIA member number and we’ll automatically update your AIA member transcript. Most state licensing boards accept the AIA transcript as verification that you have completed continuing education courses. Check with your state licensing board for any specific requirements for license renewal.
