The status quo

Haven't started yet — and you're struggling with these issues?

01 · Understanding the material

The references don't teach themselves.

The 2020 NBC, the CCDC contracts, the CHOP — each is a tome written for practitioners, not candidates. Without guided instruction, you spend months reading without ever knowing what's actually testable.

02 · No structured path

Random PDFs, random forums.

You stitch together CHOP excerpts, old Quizlet decks, and screenshots from someone's Drive. There's no curriculum. There's no order. There's no end in sight.

03 · The lonely slog

Six months of solo guesswork.

You study after work. You study weekends. You don't know if you're ready, and the only people who could tell you finished the exam years ago.

So the exam stays delayed. Your stamp stays delayed. Your salary stays delayed

Haven't started yet?

Here's what we offer!

Frequently Asked

Quick objections, quickly answered.

I'm sitting the exam in French. Is the course actually bilingual, or translated?
Authored, not translated. Every lecture is recorded twice — once in English, once in French — by the same bilingual instructor. Notes and exams are written natively in both languages, with subtitles available in up to six additional languages.
How long do I have access?
365 days from registration on Core and Complete. Expert tier includes unlimited access until you pass — no time limit, no renewal.
Does the content match the current ExAC blueprint?
Yes. The full curriculum is reviewed and updated every year by practicing licensed architects to match the live ExAC blueprint. You're not studying last year's exam.
What if I fail?
Expert tier is Pass Guaranteed: keep your access until you pass. Core and Complete give you 365 days of full access — plenty of room to re-sit if needed.
Can I switch tiers later?
Yes. Upgrade at any time — you're credited the difference. Downgrades aren't supported mid-term but you can renew at a lower tier.
Who's behind the platform?
Marc-André Plourde (Architect, MOAQ) leads the academic content. Rony S. Saikali (Architect, MOAQ) founded the company. Every lecture in the platform is taught by Marc-André or a vetted licensed architect on the academic team.
Stop delaying.

Every month you don't sit it costs you more than the course.
