Pass This Issue's Quiz to
Earn 1 AIA LU
To provide more value to our members and subscribers, AABC
has worked with the American Institute of Architects (AIA)
Continuing Education Provider program to offer continuing
education credits for reading TAB Journal technical content.
By taking a short online quiz based on this issue of TAB Journal, readers can earn one AIA learning unit (LU) (see link below). The quiz questions are drawn from information in each
article in this issue, and shouldn't take more than 10 minutes
to complete. AIA LUs are widely recognized in the industry
and can in most cases be used to satisfy continuing education
requirements for a broad range of technical certifications.
The credits are also applicable to AABC's mandatory continuing education requirements for all AABC-Certified personnel,
which mandates 60 points every three years for TBEs and 30
points every three years for certified technicians.
Visit the link below to take the quiz!
