AIA CES

AIA CES is compiling an Early Reminder List of those members that have not completed their 2006 AIA CES continuing education requirement.  The requirement is 18 learning units of which 8 need to be health, safety, welfare.  The 9-month grace period to complete the 2006 AIA CES continuing education requirement ends September 30, 2007.

The members on the Early Reminder List will receive a message via email.  Also, I will coordinate with local components to make sure that all members on that list are contacted.  To ensure accuracy of communication, please verify your email address by emailing the AIA Infocentral at infocentral@aia.org.  For more information about AIA CES policies, just visit the FAQs.

As noted on the AIA CES FAQs you can earn learning units studying for the LEED exam:

Many members on the 2005 AIA CES Audit List asked for suggestions on learning units that can be earned quickly, and possibly at little cost.  I would refer these members to AIA eClassroom, or Ron Blank & Associates, AEC Daily, among others.  Certificates of completions were sent the day the learning unit was earned, and the learning units were posted to the AIA CES transcript without much fuss.

According to statistics, though, many AIA Members would prefer face to face instruction.  What do you see as a trend in the future; more distance learning courses available because more AIA members want access to them, or will the distance learning avenue of continuing education reach a plateau?
