Preparation

Preparation

The ExAC assesses the skills acquired by Interns during the Internship period, to ensure both public safety and the professional and skilled delivery of architectural services.

Some Interns feel ready to take the exam as soon as they meet the eligibility requirements, specifically once his/her Licensing Authority has approved 2800 hours of experience. Others prefer to complete the Internship in Architecture Program (IAP) before writing the exam to ensure that they are well versed in the practice of architecture.
