AXP
The Architectural Experience Program® (AXP™) provides a framework to guide you through gaining and recording your professional experience. Developed by NCARB, the program is required by most U.S. jurisdictions and is a key step on the path to earning a license.Through the AXP, you'll learn how to safely and competently handle the scenarios you’ll face as an architect. With broad experience areas that reflect the current phases of practice, the program prepares you for everything from site design to project management. Check out the AXP website for more information. Earn AXP experience hours through AIA continuing education at your component, firm, or through AIAU. (1 AIA HSW Learning Unit or Continuing Education Unit equals 1 AXP experience hour. ) If you're not an AIA member, you can track continuing education with an AIA intern transcript for one year.
