All of our AIA/CES registered courses comply with the guidelines and criteria established by American Institute of Architects (AIA).

If you are an architect and would like to receive AIA/CES Learning Units (LUs), you must take the courses listed under the category of "AIA/CES Registered Courses". If you are a member of AIA, you need to provide us your AIA membership number in your profile for reporting purpose.

Designation as an AIA/CES Registered Provider indicates recognition by the AIA of our courses as meeting the required standards. Many of our courses also satisfy the Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) related training requirement mandated by AIA and many state boards for architects.

As an AIA/CES Registered Provider, PDHonline.org, Inc./PDH Center maintains records of all online continuing education activities for at least seven (7) years. Our records include the name of the attendee who satisfactorily completed the course, type of activity claimed, date of activity, instructor's name, sponsoring organization, and the PDH/LU credits earned. Copies of these records may be requested by sending emails to PDHonline@Gmail.com for audit verification purposes.

As an AIA/CES Registered Provider, PDHonline.org, Inc./PDH Center submits monthly reports, including the names and AIA numbers of all AIA members completing the PDHonline courses and the Learning Units (LU) earned, to the AIA's Continuing Education Systems. So it may take up to 5 weeks for your Learning Units to appear on your AIA transcript.
