Did you know? AIA Member Benefits!

 AIA NATIONAL - AIAU: CEU COURSES 

The mission of AIAU is to provide a platform for learning and continuing education for AIA members.  AIAU CEU Courses provide some of the best learning opportunities in the industry, taught by over 300 instructors from leading firms. 


Why is this beneficial to me? Many members are looking for ways to start the year off strong on their CEU credits for AIA or license renewal requirements. The AIAU platform offers an easily accessible array of both free and purchased learning content. LU, HSW, and GBCI credits are available.

(*Each month we'll share a potentially unknown and relevant AIA National resource offered to you free with your membership that you may not be taking advantage of!*)
