CONTINUING EDUCATION

The AIA Continuing Education System is designed to assist Architects in maintaining competence and achieving professional goals. The requirement applies to full AIA members only. Associate and emeritus members are encouraged to participate but are exempt from the requirement. All members are exempt during their first calendar year of membership.

To maintain active status, members are required to earn 18 Continuing Education Hours (CEHs) per calendar year of which 12 must be Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) learning.  Click here for a more detailed explanation of the program.

Meeting CE Requirements
Registered Provider Programs
Members earn credits by attending programs presented by AIA Registered Providers.  It is highly recommended members keep records of the courses attended, including course title, number, date, program provider and contact information for future reference.
Self-Report
Members may also submit Self-Report Forms for other activities, either structured or self-designed. AIA members cannot self-report HSW courses for credit. To access and submit a self-report form sign in to your AIA account. 
Distance Education
Members can take approved distance education programs to meet AIA/CES requirements (via Internet; Podcasts; Publications; Tele/audio conference; Webcasts; and NCARB monographs). Find distance education courses using AIA national's online course directory.
