CE on Disability Access
AIA San Diego is pleased to announce its continued partnership with AIA California to provide quality, online continuing education programs to the architectural community.
Through the AIA California’s online CE provider, aecKnowledge, AIA members have access to a highly diversified library of online course offerings, each one professionally developed and delivered by industry leaders.
It’s an ADA renewal year for many members!
As a condition of license renewal, architects must:
Complete five hours of coursework on disability access requirements within the previous two years. The coursework must be presented by trainers or educators with knowledge and experience in the disability access requirements.
Certify to the Board on the renewal application that he or she has completed the required coursework by signing the application.
Maintain records documenting completion of the required coursework for two years from the date of license renewal.
Provide, upon request, records to the Board for auditing.
What is Mandatory Continuing Education?
Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) is education required by a state to retain licensure. Each state has the legal right to establish its own guidelines and requirements. However, most state’s requirements are similar, whether they require architects to meet them annually or biannually. If you, like the average AIA member, have four or more state licenses, you must meet the continuing education requirements for all the states in which you intend to practice.
Most states that require MCE will accept AIA/CES transcripts as documentation for completion of valid continuing education credit. For AIA members, this means that our single record-keeping system is the documentation needed for reporting your state MCE requirements when requested. We do, however, strongly suggest that you keep backup documentation of your activities as support, especially if the credit is self-reported activity as it may be requested.

AIA San Diego members can fulfill their mandatory accessibility CE requirements for license renewal, fulfill CES requirements (including HSW requirements) for membership renewal, with the ability to choose from a wide range of subjects in design, sustainability, accessibility, marketing and business development, practice management, project delivery, and small firm practice.
