AXP/ARE and Licensing

ARCHITECTURAL EXPERIENCE PROGRAM

The National Council of Architecture Registration Boards (NCARB) is responsible for establishing, interpreting and enforcing the Architectural Experience Program (AXP), formerly the Intern Development Program (IDP) and architecture training requirements.

The objective of AXP is to fill the gap between academic instruction and licensed practice. The AXP training requirement establishes levels of training in important areas of architectural practice. The AIA web site offers a number of resource highlights and information to assist AIA Associate members and interns in their continuing education.

For additional information about AXP training requirements and NCARB Council Record application procedures, visit the NCARB web site.

STUDYING FOR THE ARE?

One of the primary requirements for becoming a licensed architect is passing the Architect Registration Exam (ARE). The exam covers six practice areas: practice management, project management, programming and analysis, project planning and design, project development and documentation, and construction evaluation, preparing you for professional practice in the U.S.

AIA offers a variety of resources to assist you in passing the exam and getting that architect stamp you’ve been working for.

The AIA has partnered with BenchPrep to bring you a brand new ARE prep resource, ArchiPrep™ — check it out.
