Oregon Architects Frequently Asked Questions



I’m an AIA member. Do you report my continuing education hours to the AIA?



Yes. We report all continuing education hours to the AIA after you complete your continuing education with us, if you are an AIA member.



Do you report my results to the Oregon Board?



The way it works in Oregon, you will renew your license and check the box letting them know you completed your mandatory architects continuing education. If the board audits you, they will ask you to provide your certificates of completion for your architects continuing education courses.



Do you offer any architects continuing education training that is not online or correspondence?



We offer online and correspondence continuing education to renew your Oregon architects license. We do not offer any classroom continuing education courses for Oregon architects. We find that most students prefer to complete their continuing education online on their computer, smartphone, or tablet – or out of our course booklet.



Do you provide me with a certificate of completion when I finish your continuing education course?



Yes, all graduates of our Oregon architects continuing education course will receive a certificate of completion. We can either email, mail, or fax the certificate to you.



What if I still have questions about completing my Oregon architects continuing education courses?



No problem. Just call our learning advisory team at (888)564-9098 or email us at arch-support@edcet.com .
