Mandatory Continuing Education: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn about the required training hours for registered architects to maintain professional standards and avoid disciplinary action.
Mandatory Continuing Education is a professional requirement designed to ensure that all registered architects keep their skills and technical knowledge current.
Who it's for
This scheme is not optional for those practicing in the field; it applies to all registered architects who must maintain their professional status.
What you get
By participating, you gain access to various training modules specifically designed to help you maintain and update your professional skills. These modules are intended to support your ongoing professional development and ensure you stay current with industry standards.
What it costs you
There are two main costs to consider: time and money. You are required to commit 20 hours of training to your schedule over a 3-year period. Additionally, because the cost of these training sessions varies depending on the specific provider you choose, you should budget accordingly for the fees associated with your chosen modules.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that these hours are a regulatory requirement. If you fail to complete the necessary training hours within the designated timeframe, you may face disciplinary action from the governing body.
