Re: Architect Registration – Graduates

Here, in the inimitable words of the Registration Body, is the certificate description newly added to Annex V, point 5.7.1.
It applies to Irish trained architects who seek professional recognition elsewhere in Europe:-

“Certificate of fulfillment of qualifications requirements for professional recognition as an architect in Ireland issued by the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (RIAI).”

In my earlier post on this topic, my own wording was somewhat unclear. I used the word “qualification” to mean two things. On one hand I meant academic qualification and on the other I meant requirement or condition.
Thus, my meaning is that the required certificate is not treated as an academic qualification by the European Commission, it is only evidence of registration in the Home State.

The disregarded Section 15 “marginal note” reads:-

“Registration of nationals from certain other states — main categories of such nationals”
