Experience

What is IDP?

A tool to verify experience

The purpose of the Intern Development Program (IDP) is to train and develop competent architects who are prepared to practice architecture independently upon registration, and support the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards’ mission to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.

A training requirement in most jurisdictions

The IDP is designed to make your internship a meaningful experience by exposing you to many aspects of the profession so that you are prepared to practice architecture independently.
