AIBC-registered Architects, Architectural Technologists and Intern Architects (“CES Participants”) are reminded that the 2024–2026 mandatory Continuing Education System (CES) reporting period deadline is Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
CES Participants have less than six months to earn and report a minimum of 36 Learning Units (LUs), 16 of which must be Core LUs. Within the minimum 16 Core LUs, two Core LUs must be related to knowledge on Indigenous history, Truth and Reconciliation, and/or engagement (‘Indigenous Peoples Learning’).
CES Non-Compliance
Under the Professional Governance Act, non-compliance with the Continuing Education System is addressed as an administrative matter, following the process outlined in AIBC Bylaws 5.14–5.24. This means that after an appropriate number of notices and reminders, the suspension and/or cancellation of a CES Participant’s registration can take place for those who fail to complete CES requirements.
If CES Participants fail to satisfy the CES requirements by the June 30 deadline, they have until September 30, 2026, to pay a fine and complete outstanding Learning Unit requirements. CES Participants who do not complete these actions by September 30, 2026, will no longer be in Good Standing, and will be suspended from the Register.
Reinstatement
Suspended CES Participants can be reinstated within 60 days of suspension upon completion of all CES requirements, payment of the fine specified in Schedule B: Fees, and submission of the applicable form. Any suspended CES Participant who remains non-compliant for the 2024–2026 reporting period after November 30, 2026, will have their registration cancelled, and will need to reinstate by making application to the Credentials Committee, pursuant to Bylaw 4.25.
Note that your CES requirements may be different depending on when you registered with the AIBC. We encourage individuals to log into their Registrant Portal to confirm their requirements, including their CES deadline.
AIBC Resources and Contact
The AIBC is committed to supporting CES Participants as they complete their requirements before the upcoming deadline. CES Participants are encouraged to reach out to the professional services department at professionaldevelopment@aibc.ca if they have any questions.
