WE HANDLE THE CREDIT REPORTING
You teach, we do the legwork. The Checkoff submits learning units to AIA and distributes certificates to every attendee. No reporting portals, no paperwork on your end. Send us the attendee list and consider it done.
- Collect attendee names, email addresses, and AIA member IDs at your session.
- Fill in the attendee spreadsheet template and email it to learn@beautyofblock.com
- We report the credits to AIA and send each attendee their certificate.
ATTENDEE REPORTING
ATTENDEE SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE
Pre-formatted with every field AIA requires. Use it for each session so credits post without follow-up.
