IDP 101
Professor Craig Hinrichs, Educator Coordinator, Miami University 10/10
What does IDP do for me?
The IDP has six objectives:
1. Maintain a relevance to current architectural practice;
2. Define areas of architectural practice in which interns should acquire basic
knowledge and skills;
3. Encourage additional training in the broad aspects of architectural practice;
4. Provide the highest quality information and advice about educational,
internship, and professional issues and opportunities;
5. Provide a uniform system for documentation and periodic assessment of
internship activity; and
6. Provide greater access to educational opportunities designed to
enrich training.
The IDP is designed to make your internship a meaningful experience by
exposing you to many aspects of the profession so that you are prepared to
practice architecture independently.
TOTAL INTERN APPLICATION FEE: $350
Includes three years of service and one free transmittal of your Record.
STUDENT or RECENT GRADUATE (within six months): $100 to start.
Check with State of Ohio for rebate*IDP Fee Reimbursement for Students
The Ohio Board now reimburses students enrolled in Ohio’s four accredited schools of architecture for their Intern Development Program (IDP) Enrollment Fee. The Board obtained legislative authority for the reimbursements in order to encourage interns to begin the licensure process as soon as they become eligible.
In order to receive the $100 reimbursement, students must:
Submit a notarized application to the Board
Submit proof of current enrollment at one of Ohio’s four accredited schools of architecture, and
Submit proof of enrollment in IDP
The application is available on the Forms page of the Board’s website www.arc.ohio.gov
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE: $75
There is an annual maintenance fee assessed after the first three years
of service. It costs $75 each year to maintain your Record until you
become registered.
Six-Month Rule
NCARB’s Member Boards passed a rule requiring interns to submit their
experience in reporting periods of no longer than six months and within two
months of completion of each reporting period.
Effective 1 July 2010
The IDP Training Requirement
In order to satisfy the IDP training requirement, you must earn 5,600 hours of
experience. You earn training hours when you are employed in work settings
recognized by your state registration board. Of the 5,600 hours required for
completion of IDP, 3,720 hours are considered core minimum hours. Core
minimum hours are earned in four training categories that include 16 training
areas. The additional 1,880 hours required are considered elective hours.
Interns must acquire 5,600 training hours to satisfy the IDP Training Requirement.
