The fast-paced world of architecture is constantly evolving, as new laws and new technologies are introduced alongside changing design trends and sustainability requirements. It’s for this reason that nearly all architectural professional associations require some amount of continuing education each year.
Understanding Your Continuing Education Requirements
Every state architecture board has different continuing education requirements for its members. While the majority have adopted National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) recommendations for a minimum 12 credit hours in health, safety and welfare (HSW) training annually, guidelines and reporting periods vary from state to state. Those that don’t follow this recommendation often do so for specific legislative reasons.
Most states allow you to earn continuing education credits through any combination of approved online, in-person or self-study training. Check with your local board for eligibility details.
