Maryland Continuing Education Requirements
Maryland Continuing Professional Competency (CPC) Requirements
- Licensees are required to complete 12 Learning Units (LUs) - 50 minutes of instruction per 60-minute hour in health, safety and welfare subjects - during each of the two calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the license expires.
- In the event a licensee is unable to complete the 12-per-year requirement, but still completes 24 LUs during the licensing term, the Board will accept such completion as fulfilling the renewal requirements. However, not adhering to the 12-per-year requirement may affect reciprocity in other states.
- All of the LUs earned must be from professional development activities in health, safety and welfare subjects.
Maryland Continuing Professional Competency Record Maintenance and Verification
Renewing architects should download the CPC reporting form for use in maintaining your records. The records must be maintained for at least two years from the date of completion of the qualifying program. Licensees are subject to a random audit of LUs completed during each license term. The reporting requirements are described in Section .07 of the regulations.
