Documenting Work Experience - Internship in Architecture Program – 4th Edition (July 1, 2020)
RAIC Syllabus students are required to document work experience gained under the supervision of an architect once they are enrolled in Parts Two and Three of the program. The Internship in Architecture Program (IAP) manual provides requirements, format, and guidance for documenting work experience for both interns and RAIC Syllabus students.
The provincial and territorial members of the Canadian Architectural Licensing Authority (CALA) have published the 4th Edition of the IAP manual. The implementation of the IAP, including transition dates, is different in each province or territory.
Syllabus students are advised that they are to continue to use the current Canadian Experience Record Book (CERB) forms (2012) in submitting work experience for review while enrolled in the Syllabus program. They are also advised to document their work experience as indicated using the Sample form.
All Syllabus students will be advised of the transition process to the new IAP requirements and forms in the near future.
