Major improvements in the architectural education system in the UK

As many of you already know, I have been following the traditional path toward registration in the United Kingdom as an international candidate.

During this time I discovered that my experience with the prescribed examinations could help others and went far reaching people from all over the world, until last year, when I decided to stop due to personal commitments and potential changes announced by the ARB.

I am happy to hear that the ARB shared a series of proposals to modify and improve the traditional three-part system, even if I respect it and I am still part of it, I believe that this route could be restrictive and in some cases unnecessary.

These improvements would rewrite the future of thousands of architects both national and international. Even if the ARB is great for responding to questions and supporting students, their current system has stuck talented people preventing them from going forward with their professional careers.

The point of this post is not to be critical, but to be supportive of all those people who have been working hard for many years to be able to get registered.

I encourage you to click the following link and express your opinion regarding these proposals so we can change the future of our young and international architects.
