Continuing Education Requirements - Maryland Board of Architects

 

To qualify for renewal, a licensee shall complete 24 continuing education contact hours per 24-month period since the last renewal of a license, including 16 continuing education contact hours that are related to the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the general public.

When you renew, you will be asked to certify that you have complied with the continuing education requirements. Certificates of completion and other forms of proof of attendance do not have to be sent to the Board. Licensees must retain those documents for two years in case of audit.

Any course or activity approved by the American Institute of Architects, or the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, is considered to be a pre-approved course or activity. A course or activity not approved by AIA or NCARB may be given approval by the Board if the licensee seeking approval of the course or activity submits a written request to the Board at least 30 calendar days in advance of the program.
