Before a person can be called an architect he or she will have completed a seven year course in the design, specification and erection of buildings and passed the professional practice examination which is the final stage of an architect training.
This permits entry to the list of UK Architects held by the Architects Registration Board (arb) and use of the title 'Architect'. Thereafter, application can be made to one or both of the chartered professional bodies which entitle members to use the term 'chartered architect' and the following initials: RIAS and RIBA
