Essential IDP
Learn about all things Intern Development Program (IDP) with NCARB’s new webinar, "Essential IDP." With upcoming changes to the program being implemented in the coming months, it is important to have a clear understanding of all the rules and requirements so your experience can be properly documented and counted toward the IDP.

IDP Through Certification
Discover what you need to know about the IDP, the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®), and NCARB certification.

Licensure and Your Career
NCARB and AIAS present a range of topics relevant to students and interns. The presentation will review how NCARB works as an organization, how to begin an NCARB Record, how to progress successfully through the IDP program, what to anticipate with ARE 4.0, how to obtain a license, and the value of NCARB certification. The presentation will also cover tips for a successful transition from school to work and pursuing licensure once employed.

Six-Month Rule
Learn about the Six-Month Rule at your desk with NCARB’s Assistant Directors of IDP Nick Serfass, AIA, LEED AP, and Rachel Kros. The Six-Month Rule will go into effect on 1 July 2009 for interns who begin an NCARB Record on or after that date and 1 July 2010 for all interns regardless of application date.

Starting an IDP/ARE Group Within Your Firm
Do the interns in your firm need a forum? Would your firm benefit from an organized support structure for those pursuing licensure? Are you unsure of where to start? Rachel Kros, AIA, Assistant Director, IDP, an architect with over 15 years of experience, and Nick Serfass, AIA, LEED AP, Assistant Director, IDP, a previous project architect with an IDP Outstanding Firm Award winner, will outline ideas to help firms establish an internal IDP/ARE Help Group. The webinar will review topics that a group could focus on, resources to accumulate, activities to engage in, and strategies for supporting interns and supervisors.

Successful Supervising
The Supervisor Guidelines have been produced to strengthen the relationship between interns and supervisors and help them work together to fulfill the requirements of the IDP. Director, IDP, Harry M. Falconer Jr., AIA, discusses the crucial role supervisors play in the IDP.

The electronic Experience Verification Reporting system
NCARB launched the new electronic Experience Verification Reporting system (e-EVR) last December. Learn how this new system makes it easier to report IDP training units and improves the way interns progress through the IDP.
