Once you have done this, visit our Education page and click the Take Course Buttonbutton beneath the title of the course you want to take. A new window will open with an hour-long, flash-based course that you can take when it's convenient for you. These courses require Adobe Flash and speakers or headphones on your computer.

Selectign Quiz CreditAt the end of the course you will be asked to select the type of credit you wish to receive for taking the course (AIA Credit, a Certificate of Completion, or both). If you wish to receive AIA credit you must provide your AIA Member Number. Then you will take a short quiz over the course you took. You must score over 80% on the follow-up quiz to receive credit for this course. You may retake the quiz using your browser's back button if you score below 80%. When you have a passing score, you are asked to submit the score to MTI. We will then process your credit with the AIA and/or mail a certificate to the address given on your account.

If you cannot complete the course and follow-up quiz in one sitting, simply return to the Education page and choose to Take Online Course again. You can skip ahead to where you left off using the menu on the right side of the presentation, or skip to the last slide which has the link for the quiz.
