AICP Certification

Joining the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) through the American Planning Association (APA) is a step that planners often choose during the professional careers. The benefits, costs, and other information about becoming a certified planner is provided by APA. Part of the application process for AICP involves an exam. To help you get ready APA provides resources at the AICP website. Please contact the Chapter’s Professional Development Officer if you want to talk or need additional guidance.

APA Maryland has prepared a document, Preparing for the AICP Exam 2023 that answers questions about the current exam and timeline.
