Continuing Education

Continuous learning is required to stay competitive in the profession and to serve your clients most effectively. The AIA Continuing Education System (CES) helps you stay up to date.

To ensure the highest quality professional standards, CES Providers complete a comprehensive evaluation. Only CES Providers can offer professional learning units, the hallmark of quality in continuing education and training.

AECinfo.com has entered into a strategic partnership with AEC Daily (www.aecdaily.com) to provide you with direct access to AEC Daily's many courses that are recognized or approved by 17 different organizations.

AEC Daily is the largest provider of FREE online continuing education to construction professionals. Courses are available online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and credits are automatically submitted to AIA, CSI and other organizations. Architects, engineers, interior designers and other construction professionals rely on AEC Daily to maintain their accreditation with ease.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) informed AEC Daily that they had won the 2009 AIA/CES Award for Excellence for Internet Platform Providers. The award is extremely competitive and difficult to obtain. AEC Daily was chosen not just for having one outstanding course, but instead, for having an overall program with an exceptional commitment to high quality education.

“AEC Daily is proud to be the first winner of the AIA/CES Award for Excellence for Internet Platform Providers” said Jeff Rice, president of AEC Daily. “We were pleased to learn that the AIA had created this brand new award category to recognize the growing importance of online distance learning.”

“The AIA would like to congratulate AECDaily.com on winning the 2009 CES Award for Excellence as the Internet Platform Provider of the Year. We have seen great dedication, improvement and commitment over the years. We feel that our members will find a consistent level of high quality courses” said Thom Lowther, Senior Director of the AIA/CES.
