AIA Hong Kong is honored to be a recipient of the Emerging Professionals Grant from AIA College of Fellows. At present, Hong Kong is one of three sites outside of the U.S. where ARE is offered. The grant will support the Chapter in organizing study sessions and gathering resources to assist candidates in licensure.

 

ARE Study Group

Led by licensed AIA Hong Kong members, our study sessions integrate content review, study strategies, tips and tricks, and sample questions.  If you would like to be added to the notification list related to ARE, email our Young Architects Group at emergingprofessionals@aiahk.org  Be sure to include your full name, affiliation, email address, and any particular areas of interest.  Our next session will be in mid-October.
