What is AIA/CES?

AIA/CES is a Continuing Education System (CES) developed by the AIA to emphasize learning and record participation in professional learning activities. AIA/CES enables architects to keep current, master new knowledge and skills, plan for the future, and responsibly meet the role society entrusts to a professional.

The program also allows members to fulfill a requirement for AIA membership and meet any state mandatory continuing education requirement. In this role, the program has the potential to be a primary force in the improvement and revitalization of our profession.  For additional information on AIA CES requirements and resources available from AIA's National office, please visit www.AIA.org. 

The AIA continually strives to attain a high standard of continuing education for AIA members.   ATTENTION: Beginning in calendar year 2012, aligning closer with state licensing boards’ practice,  AIA CES providers will need to report HSW courses for you to receive HSW/SD credits.  Members can continue to self report credit hours for regular Learning Units(LU's).  AIA members will be required to complete 12 hours of HSW education; previously 8 HSW hours were required.  The total number of continuing education hours will remain unchanged and is 18 hours.  For more information go to aia.org/education.
