Mandatory Continuing Education in California
SB 1608 was signed into law on Sunday, September 28, 2008, by Governor Schwarzenegger, which creates a continuing education requirement for California architects as a condition of licensure. The SB 1608 CE requirement is limited to disability access. There are many questions about the SB 1608 CE requirement therefore, AIA California Council created a document to help answer many of those questions, click here to download the FAQ document.
AIA Long Beach/South Bay will offer at least 8 hours of Continuing Education programming in 2009 that will meet these requirements. The programs will be part of the regular chapter programs--as forums, lectures, tours, vendor presentations, in-depth technical information, etc.
