There are many steps toward becoming a registered architect.  I will document my journey through this process here.

The first few leaps of mine ended in my graduation from architecture school.   With an NCARB accredited BArch I am well on my way to registration.

Next, there are IDP hours.  I attended a co-op school so I have completed about a third of the time required.  I am in the process of starting a new job, so the number should continue to rise.

Finally, there are the ARE exams.  I had my transcript sent to NCARB and I'm waiting for them to receive a copy.  I may be able to begin taking exams when it arrives, but I'll need to study first.
