Continuing Education
Continuing Education provides assurance to the public that licensed architects
are dedicated to learn more about the building process and maintain leadership
roles in public health, safety and welfare. The AIA requires all registered
architect members (except those with emeritus status) to complete 18 learning
units each year as part of the Continuing Education System (CES). Of these
18 learning units, at least 8 units must be earned from programs that
are related to health, safety and welfare.
In West Virginia, continuing education is a requirement for licensure,
and it is becoming mandatory in a growing number of states. All registered
architects in West Virginia are required to complete 12 learning units
each year. At least 8 units must be earned from programs that are related
to health, safety and welfare. Since continuing education has become mandatory,
AIA-WV has provided additional programs and seminars, such as the "Brown
Bag Seminar Series," in an effort to assist its members in attaining the
required accredited learning units.
