Intern Development Program Information: The NCARB Intern Development Program (IDP) identifies the comprehensive experience that is essential for the independent practice of architecture. Each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands sets its own education, experience, and examination requirements for initial and reciprocal registration in their jurisdiction. Every jurisdiction requires that interns acquire experience under the direct supervision of a registered architect for some period of time. Most of NCARB’s 54 jurisdictions have adopted the Intern Development Program (IDP) as their experience requirement for initial registration.
