The Experience component of
the IAP is a standardized national system for periodic documentation and evaluation of internship activities.
It provides a structured transition between formal education and
registration/licensing, allowing
the Intern to gain sufficient
experience to meet professional standards of
practice. The program also encourages experienced practitioners to become more involved in the development of their future colleagues.
Interns have an Employer
and a Mentor. The
Employer supervises and directs
the Intern on a daily basis,
while the Mentor is an architect outside the
Intern's place of employment who
acts in an advisory capacity to
the Intern.
An Intern must complete a minimum of
5,600 hours of work
experience in an approved employment
setting, including a minimum of
3,720 hours of mandatory experience in specified areas of architectural practice.
