If you’re one of those professionals with one or more sets of letters following your name, then you know first-hand the struggle to find education courses to keep current.
Draper’s education offerings include several accredited classes for architects to stay updated with the latest technology and professional trends, and also a course which is also good for CTS credit.
These courses also enable AIA members to fulfill a membership requirement and meet state mandatory continuing education requirements. Credit earned on completion of each program will be reported to CES Records for AIA members.
