Summary of the experience hours required for the Syllabus Program is available from the RAIC Syllabus website. Summary of the new experience hours required for the Syllabus Program is available from the RAIC Syllabus website under the Experience/CERB Log Forms tab.
General Notes
The requirements for the work experience are based on the new IAP document accepted by all provincial and territorial association of architects. We encourage all Syllabus students to read that document – it is available from the RAIC Syllabus website under the Experience/CERB Log Forms tab and from the website of your regulator.
Based on that document, the RAIC Syllabus develops the policies for the submission of the work experience hours. In early 2022, the Syllabus Architectural Experience Manual will be revised to reflect the changes in the new IAP.
If you are unsure of you provincial or territorial regulators' transition rules to the 4th edition of the Internship in Architecture Program, you need to speak with them directly.
All students enrolled in Part 2 and Part 3 of the Syllabus are required to keep recording their work experience hours regardless of how many hours they have collected so far.
Note for Students Enrolled in RAIC690B – Diploma Project
The student currently enrolled in the RAIC 690B – Diploma Project need to finish it, have it accepted by the Advisors, and send to the Syllabus National Office all the required documents before July 1, 2022, to avoid the new IAP requirement of collecting additional work experience hours under the new categories.
If you are a student taking the RAIC 690B in the Term 1 of 2022, please contact the National Office in the New Year so we can start the process of reviewing your Transcript and the submitted CERB hours. As noted above, while in the Program, you are required to keep recording your work experience hours regardless of how many hours they have collected so far.
Please direct any questions about the new IAP manual by email to Ivan Martinovic (syllabusdirector@raic.org).
