AGC Increases Educational Offerings

The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) has announced it has been approved as a Registered Provider of learning unit (LU) hours to architects and design professionals seeking certification or state–mandated continuing education requirements.

“By offering LUs through its many education programs, AGC further meets the critical member and industry needs by offering relevant training that also delivers valuable credits,” says Stephen E. Sandherr, chief executive officer of AGC.

Approximately 35 states and ten Canadian Provinces require Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) to retain licensure. Most of these states accept AIA/CES LUs as continuing education credit toward MCE requirements.

As an American Institute of Architects/continuing education system (AIA/CES) Registered Provider, AGC joins more than 2,500 education providers made up of AIA Chapters, affiliate organizations and government agencies. AGC also is an IACET Authorized Provider, offering Continuing Education Units (CEU) for its professional development and training programs. LU hours are equal to one contact hour or one–tenth of a continuing education credit (CEU).
