Intern Architect

An intern architect is a person who has successfully completed an accredited degree in architecture and is preparing for registration/ licensure as an architect. In the United States, Canada and other places, an intern architect is enrolled in a regulated program, such as the Intern Development Program (IDP) in the United States and the Intern Architect Program (IAP) in Canada, while preparing for the professional licensure/ registration exams. The use of the title "architect" (or any derivation thereof) by any person not licensed to practice architecture is generally protected; however, most U.S. states and all Canadian provinces allow the use of the term "intern architect" for a person enrolled in the IDP or a provincial program.
