Detailed Description
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE DEVELOPMENT RECORD (PEDR) Monitoring Service,
Typical entry requirements
You would be a Post Part I or Part II graduate, and must have an ARB prescribed or RIBA validated Part I or II architectural qualification from a UK HE provider or evidence of equivalent qualification from a foreign HE provider. You should be employed for at least 20 hours a week in an acceptable professional situation to undertake the PEDR graduate monitoring(See ARB/RIBA websites for further advice)
Teaching and assessments
There is no formal teaching. You are required to be in full-time or part-time employment in an architectural practice or acceptable equivalent whilst completing your PEDR sheets. You will access PEDR sheets via the RIBA website and will be required to have these endorsed by your employment mentor in practice and a PSA from the NUA
There should be one PEDR sheet for each three months of experience in practice, roughly one per quarter, and you will need a minimum of eight completed and endorsed PEDR sheets before you take the Part 3 exam.
Notes:
Please note that 12 months of Post Part I experience is the nominal maximum in a candidate’s accounting for eligibility towards the Part III examinations. Part III candidates are required to evidence a minimum of 24 months work experience, a minimum of 12 months of which must be post-Part II (normally completed alongside the PG Dip). Many students may find it useful to take two or more years of experience post-Part II in order to fully prepare for the Part III exam.
International students
If English is not your first language an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with 5.5 in each band, or equivalent when you start the course is essential. English Language tuition, delivered by our British Council accredited Centre for English Language Learning, is available both before and throughout the course if you need it.
