ONLINE CONTINUING EDUCATION

The AIA California Council has joined forces with aecKnowledge to provide online continuing education for the design and construction industry. This allows professionals to pursue educational opportunities at their own pace and according to their own schedule. While recent legislation in California requires architects to complete a number of CE credits for licensure, there are other subjects all members of the industry are interested in as well. The AIACC provides a number of opportunities to be associated with these online courses and feature your product in a professional way to a highly attentive audience. Since the launch of the online CE program (two courses) in late 2009, over 1600 architects from throughout the country have viewed the courses. In 2010, The AIACC expanded the library to include 9 more hours of online education which focus on topics such as accessibility and the new CALGreen building code—both of which have broad industry appeal.

Want to maximize your ROI? Sponsor one of the following presenters/topics for instant recognition or select a package below that supports the entire online CE program.
