How can I offer LFA credit for my course or event?
Now that LFA is a lifetime credential, the LFA Foundational and General credit designations have been retired and are no longer issued by Living Future or any other education provider. Living Future does not operate a CEU provider program.
Can I earn continuing education credit through Living Future online courses?
Yes! The majority of our online courses are either AIA LU|Elective or AIA LU|HSW approved. Be sure to check the course details to verify whether and what type of AIA credit is offered.
Upon completing a Living Future online course, you will receive an email containing a link to an AIA credit request form. If you are an AIA member, please use this form to submit your AIA member number. We will then report your course completion to AIA on your behalf.
AIA policy requires reporting within 10 business days of course completion. To avoid violating this policy, please be sure to complete the AIA credit request form as soon as possible after completing your course. Living Future cannot guarantee that AIA LUs will be awarded for late-reported coursework.
If you are not an AIA member but wish to count your coursework toward continuing education requirements for other credentialing bodies, please use your certificate of completion for self-reporting. Please visit this FAQ if you need help obtaining your certification of completion.
Can I earn continuing education credit through Member CEU Webinars?
Of course! All Member CEU Webinars are either AIA LU|Elective or AIA LU|HSW approved. You will receive an AIA credit request form via email after the event. Upon providing your AIA member number through the form, your attendance will be reported on your behalf within 10 business days.
You must attend the full duration of the webinar in order to earn AIA credit. AIA credit is not awarded for webinar recordings.

Can I earn continuing education credit at the Living Future Conference?
Yes! The majority of educational sessions at the conference are either AIA LU|Elective or AIA LU|HSW approved. Be sure to check the session details to verify whether and what type of AIA credit is offered.
As an AIA CES Provider, Living Future will report AIA LUs on behalf of all attendees who provided their AIA member number during registration and who checked into sessions via the mobile event app.
