Advanced Specialty Certification
Advanced Specialty Certification Update
Following a 2017 AICP Commission vote, Certified Environmental Planner, Certified Transportation Planner, and Certified Urban Designer credential applications are no longer being accepted. However, the Advanced Specialty Credentials (ASCs) are still supported and recognized in the same way they have been.
Former AICP President, Glenn Larson, AICP, provided more information about the ASCs in his July 2017 blog post.
About Advanced Specialty Certification
AICP Certified Environmental Planner (CEP), AICP Certified Transportation Planner (CTP), or AICP Certified Urban Designer (CUD) members are not only credentialed in planning, they are experts in their specific fields. They demonstrate specialized knowledge and training, are committed to the profession and ethical conduct and practice ongoing education.
Hiring a planner with an Advanced Specialty Certification helps ensure that your organization can provide specialized services to clients and communities with professionalism, ethical standards, and the right skillset.
A planner who holds an ASC credential:
- Has earned the AICP Advanced Specialty Certification by demonstrating the required education, experience, and specialized knowledge and skills
- Maintains the credential by participating in continuing education and upholding ethical practice
- Has at least eight years of work experience in their field of expertise
- Has verified their knowledge of planning by passing a rigorous exam and confirmed their expertise by passing an additional domain-specific exam
