  Continuing Education System - Members

For your reference, members' credits are calculated as follows:

 

Overage from previous year + audit year + current year


The overage carries over only if there is a deficit in the audit year.  The current year's credits apply to the audit year's requirement only if there is a deficit in the audit year.  For more information please visit the FAQs:


All active AIA members must successfully complete 18 learning unit (LU) hours each year, with at least 8 of the 18 LU hours relating to health, safety, and/or welfare (HSW).

A member who fails to meet the annual requirement will be given a nine month grace period. Any credit earned in the following year will apply toward the deficit. During the grace period, members are able to report retroactively any activities that were completed in the previous year.

A member who exceeds the annual requirement may carry up to 18 LU hours (including eight hours of HSW) over to the next year. Carryover credit can be used for one year only; it is not cumulative. Only the number of credits needed to fulfill the annual requirement for the following year may be carried over. Extra credit may not be carried past the one-year limit.
NOTE: Most state licensing boards do not allow carryover and deficit credit. States have strict continuing education timeframes, and credits must be earned within them.


CES Red Star Ratings
Core audit standards are the basis of the CES Provider Red Star program. CES Provider ratings are based upon how well their programs and support systems meet the CES quality standards.  If you have questions, or if you are a registered provider and you would like your program to be rated, please contact Thom Lowther
