Continuing Education -- Web Site Disclaimer

  Introduction  
    Even in the electronic world, there’s an amount of paperwork.  By paperwork we mean the formality known as a disclaimer.  Basically, we have to inform you that the material you will access is an educational supplement but it is not all-inclusive.  This material is not a substitute for good business practices & the ever-nebulous “common sense”.  As you review this course, you’re reminded that this material is comparable to your preparation for the architectural registration exam (or whatever professional exam qualifies your registration/membership).  It is not your education, your internship, or your successful completion of the ARE (insert your specific exam acronym here) that makes you an architect/registered professional.  It is paying your annual tax to the regulating state board that makes you an architect/registered professional (typed tongue in cheek).  Instead, it’s the combination of all of these things + your dedication to solid business practice & informed decisions that earned you the label “Design Professional”.  After all, the ARE is a test of minimum competence in general architectural practice where the primary goal is to maintain the public health, safety & welfare.  Without your devotion & practical experience to bolster the education, the label is less meaningful.  Now, to maintain that label, your AIA chapter & many of your state boards require you to complete an established annual continuing education requirement.  We’re glad you chose Ron Blank & Associates, Inc. to do so.  The following paragraphs describe the more technical disclaimer criteria.
