Emerging Professionals: AIA Continuing Education LU and IDP

Interns and Supervisors

Did you know AIA Continuing Education LUs can be used as Supplemental Experience hours in IDP?

Here's How It Works:

1. Attend an AIA approved continuing education course or event.

   AIA Components and AIA CES registered providers sponsor continuing education events. When interns attend an event they should follow the AIA registered architects' lead by signing in with their name and AIA member number. Event providers are responsible for submitting the attendance information to AIA, which maintains CES records. Course providers are given ten (10) days from the date of the course to report all attendance. Completed course LU's will then appear on AIA transcripts.

2. Download an AIA transcript

   Interns can download a copy of their AIA transcript by logging into the AIA CES Discovery website at any time (or request a transcript in writing, one free each year). Print a PDF copy of the transcript for the date range of the courses completed.

3. Report hours in the NCARB Online Reporting System.

   Report course work through the Online Reporting System by adding new supplemental experience via the "Experience Reports" tab. A PDF of the AIA transcript documenting completion of AIA-approved courses must be uploaded to the Online Reporting System at that time. Multiple courses may be submitted via one experience report as long as they appear on the transcript that is uploaded.
