The goal of the AIA Orange County Continuing Education Program is to provide the best available professional development opportunities to the AIAOC membership.

The AIA/CES Program is a continuing education system that emphasizes learning. These professional learning activities are recorded as a requirement for maintaining AIA membership.

Members must complete 18 Learning Unit Hours (a unit hour equals one real-time hour of learning) of continuing education per year, starting in their second year of membership. Eight of the 18 hours must be in the Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) areas of the practice of architecture. CES/HSW units must be actively taught by a third party in a structured activity, and therefore are more difficult for members to acquire. These subject areas are defined by the various states licensing boards with Mandatory Continuing Education (MCE) requirements. Currently the architecture boards in 30 states require continuing education to maintain licensure. California does not require MCE.
