AIA and state requirements for continuing education
Licensed architects must earn continuing education credits each year to fulfil AIA membership requirements. You may also need to complete continuing education requirements to renew your state license(s).
If you’re working on getting licensed, some AIA-approved courses count toward the experience requirement for licensure.
We offer a variety of ways to earn continuing education credits that make meeting your goals and licensing requirements interesting and convenient.
Annual benchmarksAIA 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).
Chicago Build offers a range of AIA CES approved training workshops across the two days. See below for the full list of Chicago Build's AIA CES sessions or click here to view the full conference program. For more information on AIA state requirements, click here.
A full list of free-to-attend AIA CES sessions can be found below. Sessions will either be accredited 1 LU or 1 LU/HSW. Listings will be updated as approval is received. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact
