  Advance Your Career: Courses Approved for AIA & ICC Credit

All attending architecture and code professionals — and the organizations that support them — understand that continuing education needs to count. That’s why DHI conNextions offers sessions that are AIA- and ICC-approved, ensuring each hour attendees spend in education contributes directly to required professional credits:

• Architects (AIA members) earn Learning Units (LUs) recognized by AIA for licensure and AIA membership renewal. These credits are accepted by most state boards. The American Institute of Architects+1
• Code officials and inspectors (ICC certified) can count ICC-approved classes toward their MEC (maintenance education credits) or CEU requirements. ICC Support PortalDHI

By choosing sessions that are AIA- and ICC-approved, DHI conNextions simplifies professional development—making it easy, efficient, and impactful. No guesswork. No extra paperwork. Just meaningful credits that matter.

    Why HSW Credits Matter Most

When it comes to continuing education, not all credits carry the same weight. AIA Health, Safety, and Welfare (HSW) credits are the gold standard because they are directly tied to maintaining architectural licensure in most states.

• Licensure Compliance – Many state boards require architects to complete a specific number of HSW hours each year to keep their license active.
• Relevant Learning – HSW courses focus on topics that matter most: building codes, fire and life safety, accessibility, sustainability, and protecting the public.
• High Demand – Architects actively seek out AIA HSW-approved sessions, since these credits are essential, harder to find, and more valuable than general education hours.

By offering six (6) AIA HSW-approved courses, DHI conNextions ensures attendees gain the credits they need while engaging with content that makes a real impact on the built environment.
