AICP

Considering Certification?

Taking the AICP exam is first step to become a certified planner. To qualify, one must be a current APA member, submit an online application meeting certain education and experience criteria, and pass an examination.
 

Informative Overview

This slideshow was presented at a San Diego Section luncheon, and they’ve been kind enough to provide it to the Nevada Chapter. It is an informative overview of what APA and AICP are and do. Included in the slideshow are many useful web links to planning and planning-related information, including a link to free CM opportunities.
