CE Requirements for AAPEI

Architects and architectural professionals in Canada require Continuing Education or Learning hours to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

CE Requirements – Architects Association of Prince Edward Island (AAPEI)

All licensed members of the Architects Association of Prince Edward Island (AAPEI) are required to complete
70 Continuing Education (CE) hours every two-year cycle. This includes a minimum of
15 Structured Learning hours and 55 Unstructured Learning hours.
The current cycle runs from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026.

Structured vs. Unstructured Learning

Structured Learning involves organized educational sessions that provide foundational knowledge related to the practice of architecture in Canada. To be recognized, these activities must:

  • Be at least one hour in duration
  • Be non-product specific
  • Include evidence of participation (e.g., certificate of completion)

Eligible topics for Structured credit include:

  • Legal Issues and Legislation related to Architectural Practice
  • Building Technology
  • Planning and Design
  • Practice and Business Management
  • Project Management
  • Environment and Energy
  • Sustainable Design and Green Architecture
  • National Building Codes and Standards
  • Risk Management
  • Heritage Building Restoration
  • AAPEI Annual General Meeting (2 hours annually)

Activities outside these categories may not be eligible for Structured credit but may still qualify as Unstructured if they are relevant to the member’s professional development.

Unstructured Learning activities are self-directed and selected by the member based on their relevance to the practice of architecture or business. These include:

  • Webinars, online courses, and professional reading
  • Teaching or mentoring intern architects
  • Tour participation, research, and scholarly writing
  • Discussion groups, guest lectures, and industry events

Activities must be a minimum of one hour. Certain categories such as reading or trade show participation are subject to hour limits per cycle.

Reporting and Compliance

Members are expected to maintain their CE transcripts via the RAIC national platform at
www.raic.org. A three-member Transcript Assessment Committee will review records at the end of each cycle, with a 10% random audit conducted for compliance.

Documentation for all CE activities must be retained for at least two years. This includes certificates, proof of participation, and other supporting materials.

Enforcement Process

Members who do not meet CE requirements by the end of the cycle may face the following consequences:

  • Non-renewal of license or Certificate of Practice
  • Referral to Council and potentially to the Discipline Committee
  • Requirement to cease all work until reinstatement

Course Eligibility

Courses on https://architecture.learnformula.com
have been reviewed by LearnFormula’s Accreditation Department for alignment with AAPEI’s CE framework.

  • Courses that address approved topics and include evidence of participation are marked as Structured.
  • Courses on other topics may still be applicable as Unstructured learning if relevant to the member’s practice.

Final determination of eligibility rests with AAPEI during transcript assessment or audit. LearnFormula is not formally affiliated with the Architects Association of Prince Edward Island. For complete details, refer to:
