The 14 sessions are good for 16.5 AIA Learning Units which almost covers the annual requirement. It's also good for just over 4 IDP units.

A few notes:

First, a warning! In BSF101 - The lecturer presents some interesting perspectives and information. However, Greenpeace refutes his claim as a Co-Founder (rather he was a founding member). He's also a paid consultant/advocate for the forestry, nuclear and PVC industries, among others. While his criticism of LEED being influenced by industry groups, his failure to disclose his own industry ties is incredibly hypocritical. Some of the complaints and points he makes are just plain ridiculous as well and he glosses over a LOT of the drawbacks to the technologies he espouses.

The sessions on dealing with the downturn can be kind of boring, but there's a lot of really great information in them.

The quiz for the ADA session gets FAR more specific with its questions than the other session quizzes do. It's not too hard, but it is significantly different from the more general quizzes for the other sessions.
