Nebraska Architect 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 Nebraska Board?
The way it works in Nebraska, you will renew your license and check the box letting them know you completed your mandatory architect continuing education. If the board audits you, they will ask you to provide your certificates of completion for your architect continuing education courses.
Do you offer any architect continuing education training that is not online or correspondence?
We offer online and correspondence continuing education to renew your Nebraska architect license. We do not offer any classroom continuing education courses for Nebraska 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 Nebraska architect continuing education course will receive a certificate of completion. We can either email, mail, or fax the certificate to you.
How are AIA-approved web-based courses affected by the 25% rule?
Web-based courses presented by a professional society such as AIA are exempt from the 25% limitation. Web-based offerings approved by a professional society would fall under the self-reporting limits.
What if I still have questions about completing my Nebraska architect continuing education courses?
No problem. Just call our continuing education specialists at (888)564-9098 or email us at support@pdhacademy.com .
