ExAC first steps :
orientation webinar for
intern architects.
Built for candidates that don't want to give up. A free monthly webinar for Canadian intern architects preparing for the ExAC. Learn the exam structure, key references, rules, study resources, and how to build a realistic prep schedule while working full time.
What you'll learn.
No tricks. No tricks. Just the structure, references, and study rhythm that actually carry candidates through to a pass.
How the 4 ExAC sections are organized
Sections, weights, question types, and what each one is really testing — not what the title suggests.
Which references matter most
The short list of documents you'll actually open during prep — and the long list you can stop worrying about.
NBC 2020 & NECB 2020, strategically
How to study the codes without reading them cover-to-cover. The chapters that pay off, the ones that don't.
Rules, permitted items, and procedures
What you can bring, what you can't, what the rules actually mean, and how to avoid surprises in the testing room.
How boot camp, mocks & guides fit together
A 16-week study cadence around full-time work — and where the boot camp, mock questions, and study guides slot in.
Built for the four candidates who don't want to give up — and don't want to fail.
Working full time at a firm and trying to fit ExAC prep around deliverables and weekends.
Pursuing licensure in Canada and navigating the references for the first time.
Recent graduates in the IAP path planning their first sitting — no clear schedule yet.
Sitting again and need a structure — not more PDFs and more advice.
