Continuing Education for the Design Professional

Mutual Materials offers a variety of continuing education programs that are registered with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education System (CES). As an AIA/CES Registered Provider, Mutual Materials plays an active role in providing technical information and guidance on a variety of masonry topics that aid in the professional development of AIA architects and other design professionals. In addition to providing Learning Units (LU) that are required by the AIA for its members to remain in good standing, continuing education is also required by over 33 states nationwide as a requirement for re-licensing.

Our continuing education programs cover a variety of topics ranging from design and installation of brick veneer, load bearing brick and concrete block construction and tours of masonry production facilities. And within the last year we have begun offering a program that discusses the sustainability aspects of masonry and the ways design professionals can earn LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points by utilizing the many positive environmental attributes of masonry products and wall systems.

Many of our courses meet the AIA’s Health, Safety and Welfare (HSW) requirements. Except for the plant tours, all courses are offered in a seminar format that can be presented at your location.

Check out the course listings below. For more information visit our website.
