Architecture Post Part 2 Professional Experience NULL
-
Overview
Professional experience is a key component of the requirements of the Architects Registration Board, 'ARB', and Royal Institute of British Architects, 'RIBA', for qualification as an architect in the UK. By the time that students present themselves for the final Part 3 examination, they must have obtained a minimum of 24 months' recently completed, appropriate and recorded experience in practice and at least 12 months of this should have been completed within the 2 years immediately before taking the Part 3 examination.
At least 12 months' experience must be undertaken in working in the EEA, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, under the direct supervision of an architect. The details of practical training requirements are available from the Architects Registration Board (the ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (the RIBA).The periods of Post-Part 2 practical training in host practices are frequently much longer: many students do not feel they have obtained the appropriate competencies to take the Part 3 after the minimum 12 month period. Many students choose to change institutions at each of the degree or final qualification stages and a significant number return to the same institution to continue their education. Some do not immediately decide which institution to join.
This Programme/Service provides a Professional Studies Advisor (PSA) monitoring and Professional Education Development Record (PEDR) signing service to students who have not yet enrolled on a Part 3 course and have no access to a PSA. It is open to students who are graduates of prescribed and validated Part 1 and Part 2 courses, or to those who have obtained their Part 1 and Part 2 qualifications through the ARB's Prescribed Examination route.

Course content
Course structure
This Programme/Service allows students to obtain supervised and monitored professional experience that could count towards the minimum practical training requirement without being linked to a Part 3 course. Recording of experience is typically on the RIBA?s Professional Experience and Development Record (PEDR).This Programme/Service offers the access to a Professional Studies Advisor (PSA) as follows:
Students are able to send in their PEDR records, for review, commentary and countersigning. Provided that the PEDR record conforms to the Professional Body's requirements, including signatures by both the student and employment mentor, the PSA will review, provide commentary, countersign, and return the record to the student.
Each student is expected to submit 4 PEDR records during the year, but this may be varied through agreement with the PSA.
Reasonable contact with the PSA is also available for students to discuss their experience, and any issues arising within their host practices. Contact with the PSA is available by post, telephone or e-mail.
No formal teaching is provided, and no attendance at the school is required.
Areas of study
The review of and commentary on the PEDR records cover the following areas: appropriateness; length; location; range and quality of the experience being obtained; areas where further or improved experience is to be sought; and other criteria to meet the rules of the ARB and RIBA. Commentary is intended to assist students consider and plan their experience, and maintain formal records before joining a Part 3 course. Students should note that the final assessment of the quality and content of experience takes place only as part of the overall Part 3 examination, so countersignature of any PEDR record does not guarantee that the assessment of experience will be passed at Part 3.
