What is AIA and What is a General Learning Unit?

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) was created in 1857. Through education, government advocacy, community redevelopment, and public outreach activities, the AIA works toward a public environment that is responsive to the people it serves while representing the professional interests of America’s architects.

The AIA recognizes that continuing education in architecture is crucial to advancing and improving the profession. Architects need continuing education to maintain competency to prepare for the future, to fulfill the continuing education requirements for AIA membership and frequently to renew state licensure.

Quiktron is an AIA approved provider, and offers a variety of training courses. Attendees will receive 1 General Learning Unit for each completed course. AIA Members must complete 18 total hours per year. Since the minimum course length is one hour, each Learning Unit is equivalent to approx. 1 hour of coursework.
