CE Requirements for ALA

Architects and design professionals in the US require Continuing Education or Learning Hours to maintain their professional designation. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted as professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

Simplifying Regulations for 2026

The Association of Licensed Architects (ALA) Continuing Education Provider Program assesses continuing education providers and their course offerings against the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Continuing Education Guidelines, ensuring that content supports professional development, ethical practice, and public welfare and is relevant to architectural practice, focusing on areas such as health, safety, and welfare (HSW), sustainability, or technical skills. Courses and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) offered by ALA-approved CEU Providers are accepted by all state registration boards for architects, with the exception of New York.
