The Continuing Education Myth
 

As written, state mandated continuing education cannot be proven to increase compentency or decrease incompetency.  To claim otherwise is defamation of character and illegal.

States should establish one minimum standard for architectural practice.  Adding MCE requirments as you go dicriminates against experienced professionals and is unfair.

Read the article "The Continuing Education Myth" on the attached link.  Either repeal Mandatory continuing Education requirments or accept professional practice for continuing education credits.  It's the only competent thing to do.
