There has been so much talk with regards to the requirement for diversified architectural experience before one can take the board exams.
At present, the two years diversified experience is counted AFTER graduating from college, meaning five years (or more?) of BS Architecture and another two years of work training. This requirement is as per the IRR of RA 9266 which defines "diversified architectural experience" as a POST-baccalaureate, pre-licensure experience of two (2) years required of a graduate of architecture prior to taking the licensure examination; consisting of a variation of experiences in the different phases of architectural service.
Sec. 13 of RA9266 provides the qualifications of applicant for examination. Paragraph (c) states that "he/she is a holder of a degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture conferred by a school, college, cademy or institute, duly recognized and /or accredited by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and IN ADDITION has a specific record of at least two (2) years or equivalent of diversified architectural experience duly certified by a registered/licensed architect; Provided, however, that an applicant holding a Master's Degree in Architecture from a school, college, university, or institute recognized by the government shall be credited one (1) year in his/her practical experience." (Note: the law did not define diversified architectural experience)
The IRR (Implementing Rules and Regulations) of RA 9266 was promulgated by the Board of Architecture in Resolution No.2 Series of 2004 under then BOA Chair Ar. Eugene Gan and members Ar. Fernando Santos and Ar. Miguel Caluza.
This is in accordance with Sec. 41 of RA 9266 Final Provisions: Implementing Rules and Regulations - Within 60 days after the effectivity of this Act, the Board, subject to the approval of the Commission and in coordination with the integrated and accredited professional organization shall adopt and promulgate such rules and regulations, Code f Ethical Conduct and Standards of Professional Practice, to carry out the provisions of this Act and which shall be effective fifteen (15)days following their publication oin the Official Gazette or in two major daily newspaper of national circulation."
Generally, rules and regulations are imperative because Congress cannot conceivably provide all necessary details in the enforcement of a particular law. Note that the IRR is just an administrative act to interpret the law which is RA9266 and since the construction of a statute by those administering it is not binding on their successors, the BOA can revoke the IRR and formulate a new one in accord with Sec. 41 of RA9266 (note italics in red).
The question now is whether the two years diversified experience is to be counted after graduation or can start counting the moment the applicant starts getting work training even during college.
What is your interpretation of the phrase "IN ADDITION" of Sec. 14 of RA9266?

From my understanding, all those whose going to take the june 2009 examination need not have two years post baccalaureate experience but a two years diversified experience. So if you're planning to take the board exam na and you have two years experience pwede na.
ReplyDeleteeto rin ang gumugulo sa isip ko. Graduate ako march 2009. Mag 1 year na akung nagaaprentice kung ang pagbabasehan ng simula eh nung grad ko.Pero 1 year before my graduation eh nagsimula na akung mag apprentice kasi sa dalawang sem ko na yun isang subject nalang ang tinatake ko. Can someone clarify this information. Gusto ko sanag makapag take ng exam sa june bago ako umalis ng pinas.
ReplyDeletehello po. ask ko lang po kung pwede na akung mag exam this coming june 2010. Graduate po ako nung march 2009. Bale almost 1 year na akung nagaaprentice after my graduation. But even before my graduation nag aaprentice na ako for a year kasi naman sa last 2 sem ko eh tig isang subject nalang ang klase ko. Naguguluhan ako, gusto ko sanang magtake before ako umalis dito sa atin.
ReplyDeleteSabi kasi doon sa batas atleast had 2 years diversified experience, pero di rin naman sinabing dapat right after grad magsisimula ito.
I have been writing so many replies to these questions and have clarified it my other blog intended primarily for the board exams www.architectureoverload.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteETO LANG PO ULIT PARA MALINAW.
LAHAT NG TRABAHO NA GINAWA (REGULAR HOURS AND OT) AS OF DECEMBER 24, 2008 WILL BE COUNTED AS PART OF THE EXPERIENCE, WHETHER GRADUATE KA NA OR NAG-AARAL PA NG NAGTRATRABAHO.
this is my take on the so called "2 years Diversified Experience"
ReplyDelete1. "2 years diversied experience" is a crap. why? its a one sided thing. its all about drafting. (lucky for you if you can find a mentor that is qualified to guide you. there should be mentorship not dictatorship.)
2. board exams are more of theory than practice.
(e.g. standards, theories of design, etc.) so the more fresh you are academically, the more chance you succeed.
3. it would be better if we can incorporate architectural practice as a part of the curiculum like the engineers have.
4. 2 years is too short for a real "diversied practice".
gud pm.from university of mindanao po ako.clarify ko lng po, nag start ako kmuha ng arki is 2001 huminto po ako ng 2005, tpos nag aprentice ako nunin 2 and half yrs,at pinagpatuloy ko, nag graduate ako 2011, ma credit ba ung 2 and half yrs ko na aprentice?
ReplyDeletewhat is the difference between the word DIVERSIFIED EXPERIENCE and APPRENTICESHIP?
ReplyDeletesir, panu po kung nakapagtrabaho ka po under engineers before and after graduating BSA, will it be considered as diversified experience at pwd pong ilagay sa logbook?
ReplyDeleteno. hindi pwede. your mentor must be an RLA and must have a UAP-IAPOA certificate.
ReplyDeletesir may years ba na binibilang bago makapirma pwede pumirma ung mentor ng logbook. i mean kung ilang taon na xang architect?
Deletesir may years ba na binibilang bago makapirma pwede pumirma ung mentor ng logbook. i mean kung ilang taon na xang architect?
Deletesir may years ba na binibilang bago makapirma pwede pumirma ung mentor ng logbook. i mean kung ilang taon na xang architect?
Deletesir, pwede na ba akong pumirma ng logbook right after I registered myself as RLA sa PRC?
ReplyDeleteSir paano po kung nagtrabaho ka for 1 year while studying. And then after graduation sa ibang company ka na nagtrabaho. Maccredit po ba yung proj mo nun kahit yung latest mentor mo na ang ppirma ng logbook mo? Thank you Sir!
ReplyDeleteSir im already employed 2 days ago , but if the offer is good i will consider it. Thanks
ReplyDeleteSir tanong ko lang. Ngtrabaho ako s saudi as architectural draftsman for 4years, Pwde ko b un ilagay s DEA ko? At sino pwde pumira? Thank you
ReplyDeleteLess than teo years po ang experience ko locally. Nag-overseas na po kasi ako. Considered po ba yung overseas na experience? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSir ask ko lang po kung pwede pumirma ung RLA na architectural supervisor sa isang general contractor. Or kelangan sa isang architectural design firm talaga.
ReplyDeletebasta siya ang immediate supervisor mo.
DeleteThank you sir. Yes sir Immediate supervisor ko po sya. Ang pagkakaalam ko po kasi eh kelangang nasa design firm. Kala ko po kasi di macredit sa LDEA ung 2 years kong experience sa construction. So okay lng po pla sir.
DeleteHi sir. May i ask if it is valid for a single architect to sign the logbook including previous experiences from other companies, rendered under the mentoring of other architects.. will appreciate ur answer. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteSir, ask ko lang po kung counted ba yung experience ko if international company napasukan ko then papapirmahan ko po sa filipino architect na kasama ko sa company. Sa Australia po kasi lahat ng ginagawa naming projects.
