New AIBD On-Demand Course System Launch


A great title that stands out!

We are excited to announce the launch of our new On-Demand Course system, now fully integrated into the AIBD Member Hub for seamless access to professional development opportunities.

Easy Access Through Your Member Hub

The new on-demand learning system is directly integrated into your existing AIBD Member Hub.

AIBD Professional Members, including Lifetime and Retired Professional Members, can access these courses as a complimentary benefit of their membership.

For non-members and Associate Members, courses are available for a small investment.

While there is still a standard "checkout" process, the integration with the Member Hub streamlines course enrollment and tracking.
