Virginia requires all architects practicing in the state to complete 16 hours of approved continuing education training every two-year reporting period. The reasons for this are obvious — architecture is a demanding profession, one that is strongly affected by changing laws as well as technological advances and consumer demand. Taking steps to ensure all practitioners are up-to-date on the latest developments is good for the discipline as a whole, and good for individuals who use this opportunity to improve their skills.

The biggest drawback to this training requirement is that it takes professionals away from their clients and projects and into the classroom. Fortunately, as technology has evolved, convenient alternatives are now available that allow busy architects to access world-class training programs without leaving the office.

The Future of Training Is Online

Lorman Education Services is a leading provider of online distance learning programs for architects and other professionals. In order to qualify for continuing education credit, a training program must meet standards set out by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). We’ve worked hard to offer a wide range of opportunities for architects to earn Virginia AIA credits online through our webinars and OnDemand content.

Joining in a live webinar is easy — all you need is an internet-enabled computer or mobile device. Once online, you can interact with and ask questions of our expert faculty, while building connections with others in your field.
