Kick off this year’s ARE Prep Series with a unique opportunity to hear directly from National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) staff and chapter leaders who have recently navigated the licensure process. Whether you’re currently testing, earning experience through the AXP, or still completing your education, understanding the requirements and pathways to licensure can feel overwhelming.

This roundtable session brings clarity to the full spectrum of the licensure journey. You’ll learn what’s required to qualify for testing, how the ARE exams connect to real-world architectural practice, and what to expect when scheduling and taking each division. We’ll also review state licensing board requirements and highlight the resources AIA Northern Virginia offers to support you every step of the way.
