Announcements

New classes added this week! – Focused business training now available on-demand.

A library of training videos provided by the Certified Training Institute (CTI), one of our newest CE Providers, now lives on AIBD.org.   
 
Each of the 25+ hours of training is identified and arranged according to the associated areas of knowledge and skills, according to the AIBD’s Building Designer Job Task Analysis (JTA), which is found on pages 39-43 in the CPBD Candidate Handbook.
 
There are four knowledge areas identified in the JTA – Business Administration, Business Practices, Design Process, and Building Design.
 
The new Certified Training Institute webpage currently includes instruction in only the first domain – Business Admin. But rather than waiting until all 56 CTI classes are uploaded, we’ll announce each of the parts as they go live (about two weeks apart).
 
Thanks to CTI, everyone wishing to become better skilled at their craft will have specialized training access.
 
Whether you’re a CPBD looking for approved Primary CEs, you’re preparing yourself for the CPBD exam, or you want to be the best you can be at what you do, bookmark AIBD.org/onlineCTI.

Upcoming chapter meetings (and more), on Hopin.

Meeting virtually is not only essential during the current COVID-19 threats; this is how we are keeping our chapters going. As things progress, the meetings may continue to be virtual, actual lunch meetings may be scheduled, or both!

 

Now, it’s possible to follow the AIBD event on Hopin Explore.

Be a part of a HOPIN event in just 3 steps.

  1. At the scheduled time, enter the event using the link above (Chrome or Firefox produces the best results). If it’s your first time using Hopin, “sign up” and create your profile and avatar (the avatar is optional).
  2. In the LH margin, click on the “Sessions” icon.
  3. One more click – the big button with the chapter name – and you’re in.
A webcam and mic are required to be on screen, but all you need are speakers and a keyboard to attend and participate.
If it’s your first time attending one of our virtual chapter meetings, HERE ARE some great tips, especially ones related to the best browser and how to use “incognito mode.”

Training and Education

AIBD Members get 60% off on-demand education!

We’ve increased the discount available to AIBD members when registering for on-demand online education at AIBD.org/continuing-education. The normal price for a one-hour course is $50, and rather than AIBD members paying $35, that figure has been reduced to $21. That’s a $29 savings on each course.

 

We said 60% off; it’s actually 58%, we rounded up.

One course per month (with a month or two off) means you’ve paid for your annual membership and more.

There are three ways to get ahold of the discount code.

  1. Refer to the welcome email received upon joining AIBD.
  2. Go to AIBD.org/member-center, log in and click the “Discount Codes” tab.
  3. Contact us at 202-750-4900 or info@AIBD.org.
