The NDSA is organising a workshop to help prospective candidates for the preparation for the ARB Prescribed Examination. Passing these exams at Part 1 and 2, together with passing Part 3 allows candidates who qualified overseas to register as an Architect in the UK.

The sessions will include short presentations from past candidates who successfully passed the exam, who will share their experience and give insight about the process. The sessions will also include workshops in small groups where mentors will give valuable feedback about specific portfolio evidence and demonstrate how to identify and fill gaps in a submission.

This is an interactive series of sessions where attendees can ask specific questions. To get the best out of the workshop, we strongly recommend that candidates bring their own work, independently of at what stage it is, and be familiar with the process and the criteria. This is not aimed to be an introductory course, but rather, an exercise for candidates who have started their journey for recognition and looking for more support and guidance.

The course will be lead by Sara Saadouni. Mentors and Presenters will be introduced in the coming weeks leading to the workshop.
