The Criteria and Process for Registering

The Criteria and Process for Registering a Program with AIA Triangle for Continuing Education Credit

As an AIA Continuing Education Provider, AIA Triangle endeavors to offer its membership a variety of professionally beneficial programs. We welcome ideas from manufacturers, product representatives and allied consultants and will consider the merit of presentations on a case-by-case basis. Both professional licensure and membership in the AIA require ongoing Continuing Education with Learning Units (LU’s) as the standard of measure. For a program to qualify for a Learning Unit, it will need to be registered by AIA Triangle, if it has not already been registered at the Chapter or National level. To maintain the integrity of the program and a suitable level of quality, each LU presentation must conform to the following guidelines – at a minimum:

A. PROGRAM GUIDELINES 1.) Program must be at least one hour in length, consisting of direct learning activity – minimum of 60 minutes. Program can consist of 50 minutes of presentation time, followed by 10 minutes of question and answer related directly to program content. a.) To qualify for HSW credit, presentations must demonstrate that a minimum of 75% of the content specifically addresses one or more HSW-related issues – see attachment #1.

b.) To qualify for a Sustainable HSW credit, presentations must demonstrate that a minimum of 75% of the content and instructional time covers one or more of the sustainable design subject areas – see attachment #2.

2.) Program content must be unbiased, not promoting or marketing a company’s products or services. A company’s products or services can be discussed prior to or once the education/credit portion of the program is complete. a.) Program materials (such as PowerPoint’s, handouts, slides and samples) used during the credit portion of the program may not include any proprietary information, must be educational and generic in nature and must serve to reinforce the learning objectives (see A3 below). Only the first and last slide of a presentation may include a company’s product or service information – see A4 below.

3.) Program must have a clear purpose with stated learning objectives and program must be designed as a learning activity – i.e. – is educational in nature.

4.) Program will incorporate the required “Quality Assurance Slides” – see attachments #3A and 3B.

ALL committees submitting for AIA Credit MUST COMPLETE the Submission Worksheet- Attachment 5 at the end of this document
