Continuing Education (CE)


Coursework Requirements

Architects whose license expires after January 1, 2023, must complete continuing education coursework on two topics each renewal cycle; disability access requirements and zero net carbon design (ZNCD).

Disability access requirements focus on information and practical guidance concerning the requirements imposed by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–336; 42 USC Sec. 12101 et seq.), state laws that govern access to public facilities, and federal and state regulations. ZNCD addresses information and practical guidance related to building design strategies that meet their energy demands or offset carbon-based energy consumption.

  • Choose a provider with subject matter content that meets the above-described requirements.
  • Verify the material is presented by trainers or educators with knowledge and expertise in these design requirements.
  • Retain your documentation in case of an audit.
