NCARB Update: Many ARE Test Centers have reopened of June 1, testing has resumed at locations where local and state mandates allow. You can view the most up to date information here.

Since 2005, BSA ARE Success Teams have been bringing together unlicensed designers to study and successfully complete the Architect Registration Examination (ARE).

Learn more about ARE Success Teams.

Success Teams offer the opportunity to learn from and share with your peers and future colleagues. Formed at kickoffs, teams are largely self-structured. Teams coordinate meeting times and locations and study together, sharing resources and tips, and keeping each other on track. Each member pledges to meet with and support their team members through the completion of their exam series. A library of Brightwood (formerly Kaplan) 5.0 materials is available at the BSA/AIA offices for team members to borrow.

Kick-off meetings take place via Zoom until further notice. Study teams will be formed during this meeting and subsequent study teams are free to meet up at their convenience.

Many Success Teams “alums” testify that their group was invaluable to their licensure process, and often remain close for years after. To learn more about becoming a similarly supportive group of emerging professionals and the ARE Success Teams program, contact [email protected].

Pre-registration is required for this event. This September event is limited to 50 participants. We will be adding another session later in the year.
