Welcome to the Emerging Professional's Companion!
The Emerging Professional’s Companion (EPC) is an online resource developed by the AIA and NCARB primarily for use by interns in gaining IDP credit. Undergoing updates in 2012 to comply with IDP 2.0, the EPC can also be used by educators, young architects, AIA components, and firms in a variety of ways to enhance or create new learning opportunities.
- First time users are encouraged to visit the role-specific pages listed in the left side bar.
- One EPC activity equals eight (8) hours towards Supplemental Experience: Learn more about how to submit EPC activities as IDP credit.
- The EPC activities are approved by NCARB as Supplemental Experience hours.
The EPC is currently under construction!
The Emerging Professional’s Companion is currently being updated to coincide with NCARB's final phase of IDP 2.0 implementation. Visit www.ncarb.org/idp2 for more information on IDP 2.0. Please return frequently to see new updates to the EPC throughout April 2012. The AIA and NCARB appreciate your patience as we work to improve opportunities for supplemental experience via the EPC!
