Many architectural firms have unlicensed individuals working in their office in varying levels of licensure - employees still connected to a university, those in the intern development program (IDP), those taking parts of the architectural registration examination (ARE), some from other states that are not yet licensed in Oregon, or those who have passed the ARE but have not yet sought licensure in Oregon. Can you answer the questions they may have about their particular status and where they should go from here? Do you wish there were experts available to help answer those questions?

The Board's staff are knowledgeable and can assist you and your employees in getting the information you need to ultimately become licensed in Oregon. You may call Haylin Thornton, Exam/Licensing Specialist (503-763-0662) for answers.

You may prefer, however, to have the Board's staff come to your office and speak directly to your employees. This can be done over a lunch hour or, if needed, longer presentations can be arranged.

If you wish to have speakers come to your office, please contact Carol Moeller, Administrator, to schedule such an event. Let her know what kind of information (IDP, ARE, licensing) your group is interested in so our speakers can focus on the particular questions of your firm's employees.
