CEU Requirements
Overview
In April, a new membership bylaw was enacted by the ASID Board of Directors which requires practitioner members of ASID to engage in regular, ongoing continuing education. This new member requirement strengthens the interior design profession by improving individual attitudes, competencies, knowledge and skills in subject areas essential to the growth and success of the industry.
6 Hours Every Two Years
Practitioner members of the Society are required to complete 6 contact hours of continuing education coursework (equal to 0.6 CEUs) every two years. To qualify, coursework must be taken from an approved provider.
Biyearly Self-Reporting
Practitioner members of the Society will certify compliance through an online self-reporting mechanism. The first two-year reporting period will begin on January 1, 2008, with 0.6 CEUs due before December 31, 2009. The second two-year reporting period will begin on January 1, 2010, and so on. Online self-reporting begins January 2008.
Random Audits
All members who fail to self-report their compliance with the policy will be automatically audited. Additionally, approximately 3 percent of members will be randomly selected for audit during each reporting period.
Failure to Comply
Any member who fails to comply with the continuing education requirements will be subject to a termination of Society membership in accordance with the requirements of the policy.
