The Nottingham and Derby Society of Architects (NDSA) has put together a mini-series of three interviews with candidates who have been through the process and have passed. In the interviews, three amazing colleagues from different countries talk about their different backgrounds, experience of putting together the evidence and oral exam. They also share insights and tips for a successful submission, including extracts from their portfolios and comments on their experience of meeting specific criteria.

This project is all about this: being able to see precedents from three different countries, from candidates with different levels of work experience and stages in their careers.

We hope our interviews and resources will be useful to you, and we encourage you to engage in the comment sections on YouTube as well as on the blog posts on the NDSA website.

Our hope is to build a community that supports applicants in their journey and to help you draw your own roadmap to recognition.
