IDP

Since we had a lot of questions during lunch about the IDP process. I'd like to start a discussion here about it. This is what I got on the NCARB website about the actions from the exam board letting interns taking the exams during IDP process.

"There are currently 9 jurisdictions which allow you to take the ARE
prior to the completion of IDP. They are: Alabama, Arizona,
California, Florida, Kentucky, Puerto Rico, Texas, Vermont, and
Wisconsin. The individual laws and requirements for eligibility to sit
for the ARE prior to completion of IDP vary greatly. You must contact
your Board of Architecture to understand their specific requirements."

I want to clarify something about signature requires. The daily supervisor is a registered architect to sign your forms. It doesn't say that it necessarily have to be a principal of the firm. Also, the daily supervisor can also be a mentor. So you can have one person sign both places.
