.jpg) The AIA is
continually seeking to share with it’s members a selection of
those CES Providers that consistently meet CES core quality
standards. As the list grows you will notice that most CES
Providers will receive 2-3 stars. We assess the CES Provider’s
program content; delivery methods; administrative accuracy,
timeliness, and effectiveness; and their cost to AIA members and
other architects. Providers that frequently display reporting
problems, receive occasional complaints about inaccurate or
misleading advertising, slip using their logos, products or
promotions will receive fewer stars. Ease of participation will
often lead to an additional star. Some CES Providers build ongoing
needs assessment and evaluations processes into all of their
programs providing continuous improvement, so we add a star.
Generally speaking, CES Provider ratings are based on how well
their programs and support systems consistently meet the CES basic
quality standards. A few go beyond our expectations, demonstrating
to all why they deserve additional stars. We consider those with 5
stars to be model programs, such that members count on consistently
anywhere and every time they are offered. Red Star reviews are
based upon combined reports from at least three different sources,
often more and are based on at least three recent years of CES
Provider activities. Assessments and reviews are received from a
variety of sources which include CES Provider Assessors, Jurors for
the AIA/CES Award for Excellence, State Licensing Boards, past and present
members of the Continuing Education Quality Assurance Panel
(CEQAP), and in conjunction with staff from AIA/CES National, the
AIA/CES Record Office at the University of Oklahoma, and AIA member
responding to random surveys.
