Since there has been little to no Architectural work in recent years I allowed my Architect's license to expire a couple years ago. I have recently been given the opportunity to do some work where the license will be useful. I knew I'd need some continuing education hours and was a little intimidated by the task of accumulating them, but I went to the licensing office in Indy and inquired. They said if I renewed by the end of this year and did 24 CE course hours I was in (and paid money).

So I did some investigation and found several CE opportunities online. Last week I did a CE orgy and knocked them all out with no problem. It was fun because i found out I am still pretty good at taking tests, and most of the stuff was review of what I already knew well. I tested out of about a third of the courses (it was set up so that was an option), and I don't think any of them took a whole hour.

Oh and I did learn about some new products too.

I got an email Monday that my stuff was approved.

So I am a registered Architect again.

Woo hooooo!

And I am working on two small jobs and another bigger one looks to be in the near future awarded.

Its cutting into my hobby time, but doing my chosen work again is very enjoyable and fufulling.
