Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) to Expand International Delivery  

Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®) to Expand International Delivery Washington, DC—ARE® candidates will soon have the option of sitting for the exam in major commercial markets outside of the United States and Canada. The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) is finalizing negotiations to make the exam available through Prometric test centers located in London, England; Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China (PRC); and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates beginning in early fall 2013. The seven-division, computer-based examination is required by all 54 U.S. jurisdictions for architectural licensure and is currently administered in over 350 Prometric test centers across the United States and Canada. “We’re thrilled to offer candidates more flexibility and convenience in where they can sit for the ARE,” said NCARB CEO Michael J. Armstrong. “The technology and proper security measures are now in place for the Council to be able to offer the exam outside of North America and meet the needs of the growing number of U.S. interns employed abroad.” In keeping with current exam eligibility requirements, candidates must be approved by one of the 54 U.S. Boards to be made eligible to sit for the examination. The per-division fee to take the exam at international test centers outside North America is $310. Eligible candidates with an NCARB Record can begin scheduling appointments at international test centers in early fall, following the Council’s launch of the new My Examination service in late August 2013. Additional details about international delivery of the ARE will be shared in the coming months.  Learn more about the ARE by visiting NCARB.org. View all NCARB news clips

Walkable City, Living Streets  

The Talk:

With the reputation of a world-class transport system, a major emphasis in Hong Kong has been the efficient movement of vehicle traffic. This approach, however, can often sacrify the safety, convenience, and comfort of non-motorized road users. How do we balance the interests of different road users and entice people to walk longer before taking transport? If we aspire to the vision of building Hong Kong as a liveable city, are we giving enough priority to the needs of pedestrians? Do our networks offer excellent connectivity and accessibility, as well as quality spaces for all to enjoy social life? This event would be a valuable opportunity for you to explore these questions with the public sectors, academia, and transport and planning professionals.
