COVID-19 Response
The health, safety, and wellbeing of our staff, volunteers, students and members is the top priority and the RAIC is closely monitoring the current situation via the Public Health Agency of Canada and the World Health Organization. Due to the developing situation for COVID-19, the physical RAIC office space will be vacant, and no one will be in the office to receive you. As of March 16, 2020, all staff at the RAIC will be working remotely until further notice. For general inquiries, please email us at info@raic-syllabus.ca. Email is the preferred way to contact RAIC staff during this time.
Please see our Website here, for more COVID-19 updates and information.
We are providing the studios with tools to work remotely for the time being. Studio Coordinators will get in touch with their students to discuss further plans.
CERB Submissions
All Syllabus Students studying in Parts Two and Three of the Program are required to be working under the supervision of an architect licensed to practice in Canada. All experience must be logged in your Canadian Experience Record Book (CERB). Refer to the policy on work experience on the Syllabus web site for submission requirements, hours required, etc..
Recently, CERB books submitted for review have demonstrated a lack of information about the student’s responsibilities for each project in each of the 15 categories of practice. When reviewing CERB books, I need to be able to relate the list of projects -and a brief description of each project- to the student’s responsibilities in that project as they relate to each of the 15 categories of practice. The example provided (link below) will help you document your journey and provide you, your supervisor, and your mentor with insights into your own pathway towards becoming an architect. Documenting your experience to the level of detail is the expectation of the Syllabus student - the most prepared students to practice architecture in the country – barring none!
My concern is the acceptance of your CERB by your respective provincial or territorial association of architects when you graduate from the Syllabus Program and apply to become an intern. Each association deals with Syllabus students and their CERB submission differently. You, the student, must ensure that your CERB meets the criteria of your association of architects. Submitting detailed CERBs now will result in fewer complications in the future.
