澳洲建筑师注册步骤
要想在澳洲注册建筑师,需要首先通过学术评估(academic requirements,通过教育或实践经验),其次要满足实践经验要求同时通过 APE 考试,最好到各州去注册,具体步骤及类别如下:
注册步骤一:学术评估(academic requirements,又分 3 种情况)
1. 对于在 AACA 认可的澳洲学校完成建筑学学士或硕士学业,如果满足实践工作经验并通过 APE 考试就可以直接注册;参见:“Experience and APE”。
2. 对于海外建筑学学历(OVERSEAS QUALIFICATIONS IN ARCHITECTURE),需要首先完成“ASSESSMENT OF OVERSEAS QUALIFICATIONS IN ARCHITECTURE”,满足工作条件并通过 APE 后进行注册;参见:“Experience and APE”。
3. 如果有丰富的技能和经验但没有建筑相关的正规的教育 或者 没有通过对等学历评估(assessed as equivalent),则需要首先通过 NPrA ,满足工作条件并通过 APE 后进行注册;参见:“Experience and APE”。
注册步骤二:工作并考试(practical experience 和 APE)
通过了步骤一后,需要实际工作一段时间后(undertake a period of practical experience)参加建筑师执业考试(Architectural Practice Examination (APE)) 。
注册步骤三:去各州注册
APE 考试通过后到各州去注册(apply for registration to the Architects' Board in the State or Territory in which you wish to practice, pay the fees determined by the Board and provide all information as required by the Board)。
澳大利亚联邦和新西兰的注册建筑师被各州认可,不需要重复上面的注册步骤。
if you are registered as an architect in any Australian jurisdiction, or in New Zealand, you may apply for registration within Australia and New Zealand under these mutual recognition provisions without repeating the above steps.
海外教育资格评估(ASSESSMENT OF OVERSEAS QUALIFICATIONS IN ARCHITECTURE)
