Your Path to Becoming an Architect:
OAA Admission Course

Step 4

Every applicant for a Licence with the OAA must attend the OAA admission course. The course is offered once a year in conjunction with the OAA's Annual Conference, usually during May or June.

• The OAA admission course is one of the requirements for licensure in Ontario.
• The admission course covers topics related to regulatory, legal, and practice issues specific to Ontario that are not covered in the ExAC or the ARE.
• The admission course is designed to supplement your formal professional education and the practical experience you gain during the period of your internship. Familiarity with The Canadian Handbook of Practice is part of the admission course.
• The admission course lectures cover a range of subjects and focus on practice-related matters, as well as on the legal and legislative context within which architects practise in Ontario.
• It is assumed that most technical, creative, and management subjects that are basic knowledge universal to architectural practice will have been adequately covered as part of your certified academic requirement.
• You are encouraged to get exposure to situations within your work environment as an Intern Architect that relate to the admission course lectures, including participating in or observing practice situations, prior to attending the lectures.
