About USG
Continuing Education
CES is a continuing education system emphasizing learning developed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) to record professional learning as a mandatory requirement for architect membership.
The architect's life-long learning
CES can enable the architect to stay up-to-date, master new knowledge and skills, plan for the future and responsibly meet the role society entrusts to the architectural professional. The AIA/CES design assists architects in maintaining their competence and in achieving their professional goals. In doing so, CES has the potential to be one of the primary forces in the improvement and revitalization of the architectural profession.
