AICP Initiates New Requirements for Certification Maintenance Program
AICP has announced new mandatory educational requirements for the Certification Maintenance (CM) program. The update aims to ensure AICPâs certification remains relevant to the dynamic and ever-changing needs of todayâs planners and communities. Under the previous iteration of the CM program, planners were required to obtain 32 CM credits during each two-year reporting period, with at least one and a half credits each in the areas of Law and Ethics. While the 32-credit requirement remains in place, the CM program update will require credits in two new topics, Equity and Sustainability and Resilience, which were identified by the AICP Commission as essential knowledge areas for planners.
