You may earn training units through the following
NCARB-recognized supplementary education activities:

• Completing activities provided in the Emerging Professional's Companion, located at www.epcompanion.org.
  
  
• Completing AIA-approved continuing education resources and programs. Each hour of AIA approved continuing education earns two hours of IDP credit (one AIA Learning Unit Hour earns 0.25 IDP Training Units). An AIA transcript must accompany your IDP training reports documenting completion of AIA-approved resources. See AIA Resources.
  
  
• Earning a post-professional degree in architecture after earning a professional degree in architecture from a program accredited by NAAB or CACB. A post-professional degree in architecture received before July 1, 2002, earns 235 training units in IDP Training Category D. A post-professional degree in architecture received after July 1, 2002, earns 117 training units in IDP Training Category D. Credit hours must be in subjects evaluated by NCARB as directly related to architecture.

The above activities should be compared with those recognized by your registration board. If differences exist, you should use board-approved resources. Supplementary education activities are subject to the following conditions:

• Except for a post-professional degree in architecture, no training units may be earned for supplementary education unless the intern is employed in a recognized training setting.
  
  
• Supplementary education cannot be used to satisfy the minimum training unit requirements in IDP Training Areas 1-16.
  
  
• Credit for supplementary education activities may not exceed 235 training units.
