Who manages the required intern training program and examination?

The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) maintains and validates the continuing, comprehensive record of internship training and the board has adopted NCARB's Intern Development Program (IDP) as the board-approved structured intern training program.
The board has adopted the NCARB Architect Registration Examination (ARE) and grading procedure prepared by NCARB as the state examination for licensure. NCARB administers the entire examination for Washington candidates, and collects examination and reexamination fees accordingly. Candidates with an accredited architectural degree may take portions of the examination concurrently while enrolled in IDP. No review or appeal of failed examinations is accepted by the department or the board.
