American Institute of Certified Planners

AICP is the American Planning Association's professional institute, providing recognized leadership nationwide in the certification of professional planners, ethics, professional development, planning education, and the standards of planning practice.  Visit the AICP webpage at http://planning.org/aicp/ to learn more. 

APA Colorado encourages all planners to become AICP certified.  Through our Professional Development Officer, APA Colorado can help you navigate through the AICP requirements for testing and continuing education.  Our organization offers exam study assistance by way of workshops, study support groups and other avenues. We are also a Certification Maintenance (CM) provider and strive to offer as many CM approved workshops, events, seminars and conferences at no or low costs to our membership.  We have also partnered with various other organizations to bring our members even more opportunities for CM.

Many often ask, "Which path should I take toward my AICP certification?"  APA created this AICP Certification Path Comparison document to help answer that question.
