In 1995, the MAA became the first architectural association in Canada to adopt
mandatory continuing education
requirements. The mandatory requirement was
limited to Registered Members
for the first two years of the
policy, and extended to all Intern Members
in 1997.
Unique demographics of the profession in Manitoba
(the fact that almost all
architects are located in
Winnipeg) allowed the MAA to take a unique approach.
Having all architects in
one location made it feasible to
have mandatory continuing education activities
organized and delivered
centrally by the MAA.
Other provincial associations
have developed mandatory continuing education.
There have been considerations for
developing consistent national standards
for mandatory continuing
education, but currently, each provincial
association maintains its own
standards.
