The Experience Areas

 To become a Registered Architiect you are required to have knowledge of and experience in professional areas. This experience is documented in a case study that you submit with your registration aplication. At the Professional Conversation stage of the assessment process, you present a summary of your experience at an interview with NZRAB assessors. 

The Professional Areas are referred to as Experience Areas. In 2010 the Experience Areas were revised to make it easier for you to prepare your case studies. In 2010 you will be able to apply using the 2010 Experience Areas and the old Experience Areas. Please go to the following link to  view Experience Areas 

The 2010 Experience Areas are:

A  PROJECT INITIATION AND PRE DESIGN
B  CONCEPT, PRELIMINARY AND DEVELOPED DESIGN STAGES
C  DETAILED DESIGN AND DOCUMENTATION
D  PROCUREMENT
E  ADMINISTRATION AND OBSERVATION OF CONTRACT WORKS
F  PRACTICE MANAGEMENT AND OFFICE CONDUCT

Professional Conduct and Code of Ethics will be covered over all the experience areas.

The NZIA APL Graduate Development Programme provides seminars, and workshops throughout the year for GDP Members on Experience Area topics.
