Architect: EDUCATION EDUCATION To become a licensed architect you need 3 things: -Education -Experience -Examination Education What courses should I take in high school? Its hard to say what courses are the best. You should find out what the admittance of the University/College you want to go into to find out what courses you should prioritize. University or College? To become an architect, you can do whichever one you want. If you go to College, you can to an apprentiship offered through the RAIC Syllabus Program. This leads to becoming an architectural technologist, technician or a CAD draftsperson. But, vast majority of architects complete a bachelor's or masters degree in architecture form a university program approved by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board(CACB) Education Experience To get experience, you must complete the Internship in Architecture Program. This program is offered through the associations of architects in each province. If you are accepted into the program, you will require a “Mentor” (a licensed Architect) who will guide your work over a period of time, according to the rules of the Internship in Architecture Program. Usually, interns or intern architects complete the program in about 3 years. Experience Examination This is the end of the road. In all provinces, passing a computerized exam is one of the final steps in becoming a licensed Architect. Architects in Canada are licensed at the provincial or territorial level.

Work Environment Architects spend much of their time in offices, where they meet with clients, develop reports and drawings, and work with other architects and engineers. They also visit construction sites to ensure clients objectives are met and to review the progress of projects. Some architects work from home offices.

As architects gain more experience, they become more involved in actual design work rather than technical issues and routine construction documents. - Architecture is also never a boring career because of the variety of tasks it demands. No project is ever the same as the one that came before. Architects are also constantly dealing with different issues, such as meeting with clients and contractors, drawing plans, looking at estimates, or working out last-minute details and requests. - Even though many architecture schools have heavy math requirements, many architects say that very little math is actually involved in their day-to-day routines. Anything that requires advanced levels of math such as calculus is usually handled by engineers or other specialists involved with a project DISAVANTAGES Disavantages - The process of becoming an architect is long, competitive, and expensive. It takes five years of school to earn a Bachelor of Architecture degree, plus an additional two to four years for a master’s. Although admission requirements vary considerably, the most reputable architecture schools usually have extremely competitive standards with a heavy emphasis on the physical sciences, geometry, algebra, and trigonometry. -After schooling comes three years of internship that, like other internships, can involve long hours and low pay.
