ARE at AIA: Review Course for the Architect Registration Examination
AIA Chicago, 35 East Wacker Drive, #250
ARE® at AIA is a review course for those preparing to take the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®). The course will cover each of the seven exam divisions with lectures, discussions, and sample problems. While no single lecture can cover the entire range of issues within each division, these classes will provide the interns with a balanced sense of what is covered by each exam. Thursday lecture classes will be followed by Monday practice sessions during which participants will complete practice problems that the group will review. This course provides a strong base for individual study – and an opportunity to find a study partner or form a study group with other class members. Take the entire course or just the divisions you need. Register for the full course and save $40 over registration for individual classes.
