Full details on the ARE Pact program, including how to register online for the ARE review classes, will be provided at the 3/23 program kickoff event and digitally by email to all Pact program participants. The schedule of 2021 ARE classes is available here, along with registration instruction. You can view and register for all upcoming ARE programs on the AIASF calendar here. All 2021 ARE classes take place every week or so online-only from 6 to 8 pm Pacific on a weekday (usually a Tuesday) from late March through mid November.

The ARE Pact program, presented by AIASF’s Architectural Licensing Committee, offers the perfect incentive to get licensed: take all exams required by NCARB for licensing within a set timeframe and you will receive a refund of your $1,000 enrollment deposit. Enrollment in the program includes a peer study group organized by AIASF, a team leader and coach assigned to your group, and free admission to class lectures for all six ARE divisions. This year, you can follow two ARE Pact pathways:

• • Path A (one-year program): complete all exams by the program deadline of March 31, 2022, for a full reimbursement of your $1,000 deposit, regardless of exam performance.

• • Path B (two-year program): enjoy two years in the ARE Pact program, with full and complimentary access to a study group and all classes. receive a pro-rated portion of your deposit with each exam passed by the program deadline of March 31, 2023, including a full reimbursement of your $1,000 with a Pass score on all exam divisions.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to schedule exams, you must be confirmed eligible for testing by NCARB and the California Architects Board (or the jurisdiction where you intend to practice). It is an ARE Pact participant’s responsibility to confirm authorization to test prior to enrollment, or to accept the risk in joining the program without it. Confirmation of eligibility may take 6-8 weeks, so it is crucial that you obtain your eligibility to test in advance to keep pace with the ARE Pact program timeline.
