NEW AICP Members!

Congratulations to Washington’s newest AICP planners!

Again, Washington has exhibited a higher pass rate than seen nationally:

AICP (Exam) Candidate Program

Beginning in November 2017, APA began allowing qualified APA Members take the exam prior to achieving all of the required education and experience.  To enroll in this pilot AICP Candidate Program, applicants must be students or graduates of a Planning Advisory Board accredited planning program.  

To participate in the program:

• Enroll in the program at any time
• Register for the AICP Certification Exam in December or June after you graduate
