Education

Licensure

To use the title "Architect" you must be registered through NCARB, take the ARE and participate in IDP. To find information on registration through IDP and ARE, and on certification, go to www.ncarb.org/

Experience

To get experience, first prepare your tools - your resume, portfolio and cover letter. Cover letters and resumes are fairly standard tools for the job search. A portfolio is the collection of your graphic work including drawings, paintings, computer rendered images, and photos of building models that you may have created.
