Overseas Architects
Experienced Practitioner Assessment
The Experienced Practitioner Assessment Program provides a ‘fast-track’ to registration in Australia for overseas qualified architect practitioners with experience at the executive level in complex projects and are not eligible for registration under existing mutual recognition agreements.
Through a portfolio of complex projects applicants must demonstrate relevant experience in the practice of architecture at an Executive level. Successful completion of this program allows applicants to bypass the Architectural Practice Examination (APE) and apply directly for registration as an architect with their state or territory architects registration board.
For more information see the Guidance for applicants, the one page NSCA Performance Criteria Checklist, and the Application Form. .
