AIA Continued Education

As an architect, keeping your education and awareness of the industry up-to-date is both essential and legally required. State architecture boards and other professional associations, such as the American Institute of Architects (AIA), mandate that all members undergo a minimal amount of training each year.

Furthermore, as zoning and environmental laws change and more emphasis is placed on sustainable design, professionals are able to use training and the knowledge gained through educational courses like ours as a way of growing their business and earning new clientele.

If you’re just becoming licensed, some AIA-approved courses might count toward the experience requirement for your licensure. Gulf Group Solutions and Spoint1 offer a variety of ways to earn continuing education credits that make meeting your goals and licensing requirements interesting and convenient! And, being conveniently located to the downtown Frederick-area community offers those in our in-person classes an amazing opportunity to experience not only the professional expertise provided by our instructors but also a respite from training with an occasional foray into the downtown community.

What better way to network with others in your field and grow relationships, while also gaining the expertise and knowledge required by the industry?
