There are less than three months remaining until the Continuing Education System (CES) deadline of June 30, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Before the deadline, CES Participants (Architects AIBC, Architectural Technologists AIBC, and Intern Architects AIBC) must earn and report 36 Learning Units (LUs), of which at least 16 LUs must be Core, including two Core LUs dedicated towards Indigenous Peoples Learning.
Below is some helpful guidance and information to support CES Participants in meeting the requirements:
Indigenous Peoples Learning Requirement Opportunities
Two Core LUs related to knowledge on Indigenous history, Truth and Reconciliation, and/or engagement (‘Indigenous Peoples Learning’) must be earned every reporting period. A list of eligible activities can be found in the Indigenous Peoples Learning Resources document, which can be self-reported upon completion. When self-reporting these activities, select “Core” and then “Indigenous Peoples Learning” from the drop-down menu, to ensure they are properly recorded toward the requirement.
There are also several eligible Indigenous Peoples Learning sessions at the upcoming AIBC Conference 2026, including:
- The Chief Leonard George Building
- Indigenous Engagement Influences in Student Housing
- Architecture Through the Lens of Two Row Thinking
- Cultural Finds: Explorations in Public Architecture
More information about the Indigenous Peoples Learning requirement can be found in Schedule P: Board Rules for Continuing Education System of the AIBC Bylaws and the Practice Guideline: Continuing Education System (CES).
Review Your CES Transcript
CES Participants are encouraged to review their transcripts to see how many Learning Units they have earned for the 2024-2026 reporting period. To view your current LU status, log into your AIBC Registrant Portal and select “Continuing Education System” from the left-hand side menu, and then select “Transcript”. Detailed instructions for reviewing your transcript can be found in the Registrant Portal Quick Guide – Review a CES Reporting Period Transcript. Note that your CES requirements may be different depending on when you registered with the AIBC, and checking your transcript will confirm your requirements as well as your CES deadline.
