AXP Portfolio: The NCARB update you lot tin't miss!

This mail is brought to you by PPI.

The recently introduced AXP Portfolio program from NCARB recognizes that not all careers follow the same trajectory. At present, individuals with non-linear career paths have the opportunity to complete the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and go licensed architects.

The AXP Portfolio is NCARB's style of reaching out to those who left the profession before becoming licensed, then that they take an opportunity to explore licensure once more. This program is designed for those who have previously worked in an architectural firm, but who decided to pursue other career or personal opportunities in lieu of becoming licensed within the traditional timeframe.

Individuals who accept not logged every hour of their professional activities can now obtain their license through this new program. Candidates must take a minimum of two years of full-time architectural or building-related work experience, acquired at to the lowest degree five years ago. Ane of these two years must have been full-time employment in an compages firm under the direct supervision of a licensed architect. Candidates may utilize for the AXP Portfolio program online by submitting a summary of their work experience. When approved, rather than tracking and reporting hours, AXP Portfolio candidates submit exhibits demonstrating proficiency in all experience areas.

Through this collection of work products, reports, drawings, and contract documents, the applicant must prove that his or her work experience is comparable to that acquired in a traditional AXP setting. The work included in the portfolio may have been performed while employed in a multifariousness of roles, and is non required to have been completed under the supervision of a licensed builder. Portfolio submissions are then reviewed by a licensed architect supervisor who meets the criteria established in NCARB's AXP Guidelines.

In addition to satisfactory review of the portfolio, candidates must fulfill all of the educational and examination requirements for the jurisdiction in which they intend to practice. Most states require a professional person degree (B.Arch or K.Arch) from an establishment accredited by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB). All states require successful completion of the Architect Registration Exam (ARE), and some require passing scores on supplemental exams.

The AXP Portfolio is accepted in most states with the exception of nearly a dozen. Candidates should verify the requirements for the state in which they plan to become licensed earlier pursuing the AXP Portfolio option.
