==In US== There are two routes a person can travel on their way to becoming a licensed architect. The first is to get your degree from an accredited college. NCARB ("National Council of Architectural Registration Board" the organization that monitors the profession) can supply a list of accredited colleges. This 5 year program will enable a candidtate to start testing through his/her state board. The second route is to gain an experiential equivalent through construction experience and working under a licences architect. Once you are qualified to take your exams, you must register with your state board for review of qualifications. If qualified, you will be issued a testing number and you can begin taking your tests in any order you prefer. At present there are 9 exams. As of June of 2008 the exams will be condensed into 8. Each candidate must complete their exams within a 5 year period. Each state may have additional requirements; for example California also requires a supplemental oral exam. Each candidate must also complete the IDP program through NCARB. The IDP "Intern Development Program" requires each candidate to work under a mentors supervision and keep a log of work experience. The total number of hours that must be logged in each area of the business is dictated by NCARB.
