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 their CALA jurisdiction. All experience must be logged in Canadian Experience Record Book (CERB).
Recently, CERB books submitted for review have demonstrated a lack of information about the student’s responsibilities for each project in each of the 17 categories of practice. To ensure a thorough review, it is essential that the projects listed include a brief description of each, clearly outlining the student’s roles and contributions as they pertain to each category of practice. The provided template is designed to assist in documenting this experience comprehensively, offering valuable insights to students, supervisors, and mentors regarding the student’s progression towards becoming a licensed architect. Adhering to this level of detail in documentation is expected of Syllabus students.
Students are required to submit their experience logs every 900-1000 hours, within eight weeks of the experience period. Submissions made after this deadline, or totaling over 1000 hours, will incur a late penalty of $110.25 per log.
Students should round their hours to the closest quarter of an hour (ie. in 15 minute intervals) on page 4 of the CERB Log.
For further information on CERB submissions, please refer to the Architectural Experience Manual.
