PARC Experienced Practitioner Tutorials
The PARC Experienced Practitioner Tutorials are a series of twelve two hour live online tutorials designed for candidates who are seeking registration via the Locally or Overseas Experienced Practitioner Assessment pathway.
The tutorials cover the areas of knowledge outlined in the National Standard of Competency for Architects (NSCA) that are the subject of the Experienced Practitioner Assessment interview. See below for outline of topics included.
There will also be opportunity to discuss submission requirements and a session on interview techniques. Participants will be provided with supplemental reading lists tailored to their specific State or Territory.
The PARC Experienced Practitioner Tutorials are also suitable for those preparing to apply for registration as an architect in Australia via one of the AACA international Mutual Recognition Agreements.
The PARC Experienced Practitioner Tutorials may additionally be undertaken as CPD. Participation in the full season attracts a minimum of 22 formal CPD points. Completion of the supplemental reading attracts additional informal CPD points.
The PARC EP Tutorials are run twice a year. The Summer Season runs from December to April. The Winter Season runs from June to September.
The PARC Experienced Practitioner Tutorials are currently being delivered online and are available Australia-wide. We can also provide them in-house at your practice either online or face to face where possible. Please just get in touch.
