Join AIA Maine for our first ARE Workshop / Study Group. The series is designed to help unlicensed designers prepare to take the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). Based on ARE 5.0, these sessions will provide a blend of content review, study strategies, and test-taking tips.
The AIA Maine ARE Workshop / Study Group is a group-driven, 9-month study program that integrates ARE preparation into the demanding lives of aspiring architects.
Each workshop will be led by a local expert to share information and answer questions on the topic of the exam. The format will be open and dialogue-centric.
To make this series effective, we will need 6-10 people to sign on to our commitment to attend each of the workshops throughout the year.
Participants will be encouraged to collaborate to create goals for the group.
Any unlicensed designer who is working toward licensure is welcome to attend, AIA membership is not necessary.
