IDP 2.0: Frequently Asked Questions

http://www.ncarb.org/Experience-Through-Internships/IDP-2/IDP2-Resources/IDP2-FAQs.aspx

What is IDP 2.0?
IDP 2.0 updates the Intern Development Program (IDP) requirements to more closely align with the practice of architecture today. The changes, which have been rolled out in phases, will help ensure that interns acquire the comprehensive experience that is essential for competent practice. The changes also offer many benefits to interns by allowing them to complete some of the IDP experience requirements whether or not employed, expanding the definition of “direct supervision,” and simplifying the reporting process.

Why is the IDP changing?
NCARB invited over 50,000 architects from across the United States and Canada to participate in the 2007 Practice Analysis of Architecture. A record 9,835 practicing architects completed this extensive electronic survey to identify the tasks, knowledge, and skills that recently licensed architects, practicing independently, need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The results of this study were used as a basis for IDP 2.0, the most significant update of IDP since its inception over 30 years ago.

What has changed so far?
IDP 2.0 Phase One was launched 1 July 2009. Phase Two was launched 1 January 2010. Phase One and Two included a number of improvements that simplified the reporting process and made the IDP more user-friendly.

Phase One and Two changes allow interns, whether or not employed, to earn training hours by completing supplementary education opportunities.
Phase Two updated the definition of “direct supervision” to reflect current architectural practice, and training units were converted into training hours.
Other changes include NCARB’s new electronic Experience Verification Reporting (e-EVR) system, which gives interns a more user-friendly reporting experience, and the Six-Month Rule that began on 1 July 2009. The Six-Month Rule requires all interns to submit their training reports in increments of six months or less and no later than two months after the work is completed.

What other changes are planned for IDP 2.0?
All program changes reflect the experience required for the competent practice of architecture as identified in the 2007 Practice Analysis of Architecture. The third phase of IDP 2.0 will complete the alignment of IDP to the current practice of architecture. This final phase includes new experience areas and categories, new experience settings, and expanded program opportunities. NCARB will continue to publish detailed information on the new experience areas and categories, experience settings, the rollover rules, and examples of how the rollover of experience will appear to interns. Please be sure to check the NCARB website regularly and sign up for the IDP e-News to receive these exciting updates!

Why weren’t all the changes implemented immediately?
All changes to the IDP require system updates to ensure that each intern’s experience can be accurately reported and verified. NCARB is aware that IDP 2.0 offers many benefits to interns, and has worked to phase in the changes as quickly as possible. In fact, some of the program updates were fast-tracked to allow interns—whether or not they are employed—to earn experience for qualified certification and continuing education programs. [Timeline]

When will Phase Three of IDP 2.0 be implemented?
Phase Three of IDP 2.0 will be implemented in April 2012. At noon EDT 3 April 2012, the current e-EVR will shut down to implement the final phase of IDP 2.0. All experience must be submitted or approved by noon EDT on 3 April 2012 when the rollover rules will be applied. Details on the rollover rules will be available soon.

Will there be a transition period for IDP 2.0?
Portions of IDP 2.0 have already launched. As each phase is implemented, all changes to the program are applicable to all interns currently participating in the IDP. When the final phase of IDP 2.0 is implemented, all previously submitted and approved hours will be converted to IDP 2.0.

How will the change in core minimum hours affect me?
All interns have to meet the new core minimum hour requirement of 3,740 hours when Phase Three goes into effect, but the new category and area requirements will depend on what you currently have in the system.

For example, if you have met the current required core minimum hours for an existing training area, you will be exempt from meeting the new core minimum hours for the corresponding experience area. [learn more]

Why did the minimum number of hours required increase in certain experience areas, and what happened to the elective hours in each category?
The core minimum hours in IDP 2.0 were derived from the Practice Analysis. Through the Practice Analysis, each experience area was weighted to how important it is for the independent practice of architecture. As a result of this analysis, interns must meet new minimum core hour requirements in 17 experience areas. The new core minimum hours incorporate the previous elective hour requirement per category. In IDP 2.0 there is an overall elective hour requirement of 1,860.

The total number of hours to complete IDP 2.0 is still 5,600.

In my current work setting, I am limited to hours in certain categories. Will that be true in IDP 2.0?
In IDP 2.0, if you are in experience settings A or O, you can earn hours in all experience areas. Certain opportunities to earn core hours within experience setting S will also allow experience to be earned in all experience areas. If you are currently employed in a work setting that has limitations, you may have an opportunity to earn hours in any area in IDP 2.0.

Are the requirements for an IDP supervisor changing?
Yes. The current program requires that IDP supervisors in certain work settings be licensed in the jurisdiction where they are located. In IDP 2.0, the definition of experience setting A and opportunities within O require that the IDP supervisor be licensed in a U.S. or Canadian jurisdiction, not necessarily where they are located.

What is an academic internship?
Many schools have programs where interns work in firms as a part of their education. Any internship that is integrated into your academic program whether as a requirement or as an elective is considered an academic internship.

In IDP 2.0 interns may earn up to 930 hours of experience through qualifying academic internships that meet the durational requirements and are in experience setting A or O.

How do I know if my academic internship will count?
If you are at a school that offers an academic internship, please have the IDP educator coordinator contact idp@ncarb.org for further information.

If you are not sure who your IDP educator coordinator is, you can look up your contact [here].

Are all of the current work settings incorporated into the new experience settings?
The new experience settings incorporate all of the opportunities that were available through the current work settings.

For example, the opportunities that were previously available through the existing work setting E will be reported through supplemental experience in IDP 2.0. [Supplemental Experience for Core]

If I have submitted hours over and above the core minimum requirements in an experience area, do those hours count toward the 1,860 elective hours requirement?
Yes, all approved hours earned over an experience area’s core minimum hour requirement will be credited toward the elective requirement of 1,860 elective hours.

I have earned hours in several of the current work settings, what happens if my hours exceed the maximum allowable when they are rolled over into the new experience setting?
If you have earned experience in current work settings and the hours exceed the maximum allowable hours in IDP 2.0, you will receive a one-time waiver to the maximum allowable hours. However, you will not be able to earn any additional hours in the new experience setting.

Supplementary Education Can Be Reported Through the e-EVR

noreply@blogger.com (Marsha R. Cuddeback) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 15:34:00 +0000

You can now report supplementary education training units through the NCARB electronic Experience Verification Reporting (e-EVR) system. The system currently accepts activities completed from the Emerging Professionals Companion (EPC), LEED accreditation, and Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) certifications. You will be able to report training units earned through the American Institute of Architect (AIA) continuing education programs later this summer.

As a result of the first phase of IDP 2.0, effective 1 July 2009, you no longer need to be employed to earn five training units for LEED accreditation. If you took the LEED AP between 1 July 2008 and 30 June 2009, you must have worked in an approved work setting at the time you took the test. Also, you can earn five training units for each CSI Construction Documents Technologist, Construction Specifier, and Construction Contract Administrator certification.

Reading NCARB's Professional Conduct monograph and passing the online quiz is now a recognized supplementary education activity for the IDP. The monograph is free for interns (a $150 value) and can be downloaded from your home page in "My NCARB Record." You will receive two minimum training units in Training Area 15 – Office Management upon completion the quiz. Log in to "My NCARB Record" to download the monograph and request a quiz password. Once you have read the monograph and passed the quiz, the units will appear in your e-EVR within four to six weeks. You do not need to submit anything to NCARB.

You can only earn up to five training units to satisfy the minimum requirements in any of the IDP training areas 1-16 by completing supplementary education. Please read the supplementary education section of the IDP Guidelines for more information.
