Are all courses approved for the American Institute of Architects learning units?
Each course page lists the continuing education hours for which the course is eligible. Many, but not all, courses are eligible for AIA and GBCI CE hours.
Additionally, certificates of completion are available once you have passed the quiz and may be submitted to other professional organizations for continuing education recognition.
How do I earn AIA credit for courses registered for AIA CES hours?
The American Institute of Architects (AIA) created a Continuing Education System (CES) program to provide continuing education credit for architects. Learn more.
Individual members of AIA must include their AIA member number in their usgbc.org profile to receive credit for courses that have been approved for AIA LUs. It is the member's responsibility to provide an accurate and complete membership number. For AIA CES customer support: cessupport@aia.org.
What is USGBC’s role with AIA CES?
USGBC is a Platform Provider for AIA and hosts approved content developed and maintained by other AIA CES Providers. For hosted courses, the entity providing the course (i.e., Education Partner) must be a current AIA CES Provider and is responsible for submitting a course for review by AIA CES and will be the provider of record for the content of the course. USGBC is responsible for hosting the course and reporting attendance and the successful completion of the course in the USGBC course catalog only. The AIA CES Provider (i.e., Education Partner) is responsible for the accuracy of the AIA CES data provided to USGBC. Learn more about AIA CES Provider program.
