Training Requirements
for NCARB Certification
Effective July 1, 1996
2.1 To satisfy the NCARB training standards, an applicant must
have at least three years of training credits or have satisfied
the IDP training requirements in accordance with the Handbook for
Interns and Architects, Chapter One.
NCARB expects that an applicant who has satisfied these training
standards will have been exposed to the comprehensive practice of
architecture.
Accordingly, each applicant must demonstrate that his or her training
has been sufficiently diversified as to include exposure to each
of the training areas set forth in the Handbook
for Interns and Architects and IDP Guidelines. An applicant
with three years of training credits may nonetheless be denied certification
if that training is not diversified. The following table sets forth
the ways in which training credits can be acquired:

1.2.
Note: 32 semester credit hours or 48 quarter credit hours shall
equal one year in an academic program.
2.3 No experience used to obtain academic credits in an accredited
degree program may be used to earn training credits.
2.4 Every applicant must earn at least (a) one year of credit under
2.1.1 or (b) three years of credit under 2.1.2 provided the applicant
has practiced for those three years in association with another
architect practicing as a principal or (c) five years of credit
under 2.1.2.
2.5 To earn credits under 2.1.1 through 2.1.5, inclusive, and under
2.1.7, an applicant must work at least 35 hours per week for a minimum
period of 10 consecutive weeks. An applicant may earn one-half of
the credits specified under 2.1.1 through 2.1.5, inclusive, for
work of at least 20 hours per week in periods of six or more consecutive

2.6 To earn credit under 2.1.6, an applicant's credit hours must
be in subjects evaluated by NCARB as directly related to architecture;
20 semester credit hours or 30 quarter credit hours of teaching

the applicant works is in the charge of a person practicing as
a principal, and the applicant works under the direct supervision
of a registered architect; and
2.7.2 the architectural practice of the organization encompasses
the comprehensive practice of architecture including each of the
categories composing such practice set forth in the Handbook for
Interns & Architects and IDP Guidelines.

architect and (b) the person in charge of the organization's architectural
practice, either alone or with other registered architects.
2.9 A "registered architect" is a person registered to practice
architecture in the jurisdiction in which (s)he practices.
2.10 The maximum credit for training under the direct supervision
of a person practicing architecture outside the United States or
Canada, who is not an architect registered in a U.S. or Canadian
jurisdiction, shall be one year. No credit will be granted for foreign
training other than under the direct supervision of a person practicing
architecture. Provided, however, that a person with five years of
foreign training under category 2.1.2 shall be deemed to have satisfied
the training requirements.
