Cardinal Training brings Cardinal Glass continuing education to your phone and tablet. Watch a course, pass the test, and download your certificate. For AIA members, we report your completed Learning Units to AIA CES for you. It's built for architects and design professionals who need to keep their credits current without blocking off an afternoon for it. ON-DEMAND VIDEO COURSES Courses cover glass, glazing, fenestration, and the building envelope. Videos are split into chapters, so you can stop after a short section and pick up where you left off on any device. TESTS AND LEARNING UNITS Each course ends with a short test. Pass it and the Learning Units, including HSW credit where the course qualifies, are added to your record. You can see your progress and your credit totals at any time. CERTIFICATES Download a certificate for every course you complete. Save it as a PDF or share it straight from the app. REPORTED TO AIA FOR YOU Add your AIA member number once. When you complete a course, Cardinal reports it to AIA CES on your behalf, so you don't have to enter it yourself. LIVE EVENTS See upcoming live courses, RSVP from your phone, and get notified about your events. Credit for live events shows up in the same place as your on-demand courses. WATCH OFFLINE Download a course before a flight or a site visit and watch it without a connection. Your progress syncs when you're back online.
