• Did you know that if you attend a program or participate in an activity that’s not offered by an AIA/CES registered provider, you can consider its eligibility for continuing-education credit in the Self-Designed Activity or Structured Self-Reported Program categories? Generally speaking, if a planned educational activity provides you with new knowledge that you can use in your practice of architecture, then it’s likely to be accepted for credit. Self-designed activities and structured activities not provided by an AIA/CES registered provider can be reported to the AIA online. Learn more about self-reporting by visiting http://www.aia.org/ces_selfreport.
