To learn about a product’s suitability for a project or to hear about the latest building systems, architects and design professionals turn to continuing education. The Architect’s Newspaper’s continuing education platform, CE|STRONG, hosts leading interior and exterior product manufacturers to lead workshops and webinars for architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and other designers.
The modules are approved AIA, IDCEC, LACES, OAA, and USGBC learning units that industry professionals can use to maintain their license, while gaining new knowledge about building design and new products and technologies. According to the AIA, “83 percent of architects report CE and webinars as the most widely used source for staying updated on new products and material trends.”
AN’s CE|Strong hosts 70 virtual workshops and webinars that reach practitioners and manufacturers across the United States. The CEU-accredited workshops are organized thematically. Topics are wide-ranging from interior applications to delivering high-performance building envelopes with advanced cladding systems.
Webinars are also offered on a range of topics, among these how new products align with new building regulations or how technology like artificial intelligence can be harnessed by designers.
Sessions range in duration from one-hour webinars to day-long workshops. Each is led by an expert instructor who guides attendees toward a greater understanding of how to balance design aims with efficient material use.
CE|STRONG workshops and webinars aren’t just for architects; interior designers look to the continuing education platform as well for the latest on material strategies and to check out product innovations.
Those looking to rack up more credits, can attend one of The Architect’s Newspaper’s Facades+ conferences, which offer six credits to learn about new projects with regional specificity and nerd out on building systems and materials.
Don’t have time during the workday? CE|STRONG’s robust library of on-demand online courses can be taken for AIA LU or AIA HSW LU credit at any time and from anywhere on mobile phone to an office desktop.
