On January 1, 2008, it became required for all professional planners who are members of APA's professional institute, the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP), to engage in mandatory continuing education.AICP members must earn a total of 32 Certification Maintenance (CM) credits every two years to maintain their AICP credential.
The Certification Maintenance program links certified planners to training opportunities that will keep them up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies, and best practices.
Continuing education activities and events that will provide these CM credits must be approved by APA. All education providers, including APA and its chapters and divisions, must register with APA/AICP to become CM providers.
When you register to become a CM provider, we'll market your activities so all AICP members know about your CM-approved activities through our online calendar of events. You will also be included in our online directory of CM providers.
Whether you're hosting a conference, workshop, lecture, or web-based training (i.e. online course, webcast, podcast, etc.) this is your opportunity to reach more than 16,000 professional planners who are looking for professional development activities.
Any organization that provides educational activities or products for professional planners can become a CM provider. These include (but are not limited to):
