Over the years, many architects have asked if we provide continuing education credits for architects, and we are excited that we now do! We are excited that Pressalit Care North America is offering a new AIA CEU Course for architects. This course will allow architects to earn credits online through the American Institute of Architects. Upon completion of the course, the certificate will be emailed directly to attendees..
