Path to licensure... AIA San Diego can help!

Start your path to licensure by enrolling in the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards’ (NCARB) Intern Development Program (IDP) and the Comprehensive Intern Development Program (CIDP). The California Architects Board requires that, prior to licensure, new candidates complete both. Your AIA San Diego Young Architects Commission has a task force that is available to help! Contact AIA San Diego or check out the following links for additional information:
