CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, May 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Spectacular CE, a new continuing education platform powered by Black Spectacles, has officially launched, offering a mobile-first, intuitive experience that makes it easy for architects to complete their required education anytime, anywhere. Built for architects and those on the path to licensure, Spectacular CE offers a seamless, engaging experience that reflects the quality design professionals expect from Black Spectacles.

Spectacular CE is proud to launch with two founding partners: Atlantis Rail and The National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association (NTMA). These partnerships bring architecturally relevant, high-quality courses to the platform, grounded in real-world application and material expertise.

“Design professionals have long accepted continuing education as a necessary obligation,” said Marc Teer, FAIA, Founder & CEO, Black Spectacles. “We saw an opportunity to elevate that experience by creating a mobile-first, easy to use platform with a design-forward learning experience for the next generation of architects.”

Continuing Education Designed for Architects Who Expect More
Spectacular CE reflects the standard of quality users have come to expect from Black Spectacles—beautifully designed, easy to use, and mobile-friendly. Every detail of the platform has been considered to reduce friction and enhance clarity and engagement, allowing architects to focus on learning rather than navigating.

Key features include:
- A mobile-friendly interface that works seamlessly across devices, with the Black Spectacles app available on both Apple and Google Play for learning on the go.
- Fast, intuitive navigation designed to streamline the experience and help users complete courses more efficiently.
- Engaging, design-forward course content that prioritizes clarity and relevance
- A modern viewing experience built for the next generation of architects

The result is a platform that feels less like a requirement, and more like an extension of a designer’s workflow.

Supporting Architects at Every Stage
Spectacular CE is designed to serve both licensed architects and emerging professionals working toward licensure. In addition to AIA and HSW continuing education credits, the platform offers courses eligible for NCARB AXP hours, making it a valuable resource throughout the entire professional journey.

Whether completing CE requirements or logging experience hours, users can access courses anytime, anywhere, on their own schedule.
