Continuing Education Unit (CEU)
Creative Materials proudly offers Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for participation in professional development and lifelong learning programs. Our CEUs are accredited with both AIA and IDCEC, where continuing education is measured in Learning Units (LUs).
These courses are available to our Architect & Design partners with focused learning objectives to strengthen the competencies, knowledge, and skills in areas that are essential to good design. Providing education opportunities that help our clients design and build better communities is our objective. Simplifying the selection and supply of surface materials on commercial construction projects is our passion.
Upon completion of a course with one of our Architectural Sales Consultants, participants will receive a certificate indicating the CEU value and the LU. Two courses contribute to health, safety and welfare (HSW). Our CEUs may be recognized by professional organizations, employers, and licensing boards as evidence of ongoing professional development.
