Description
NCARB certification facilitates reciprocal registration among all 54 NCARB Member Boards, 11 Canadian jurisdictions, and can be used to support an application for registration in other countries. Although certification does not qualify a person to practice architecture in a jurisdiction, it does signify that you have met the highest professional standards established by the registration boards responsible for protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.
