Welcome to the RIBA's Professional Education and Development Resource (PEDR). This website provides information, guidance and links to professional services and learning support for those working towards becoming an architect.
This site includes the RIBA Professional Experience and Development Record (PEDR). If you are an architectural student at post Part 1 on your year out, or have completed your Part 2 and are working towards your Part 3 and would like to set up your personal Record of Professional Experience (to record the professional experience and learning in practice that you will need to demonstrate for the 'Part 3' Examination) the first step is to register. If you are already registered to use PEDR you can sign in.

If you need more information about Professional Experience we have 3 guides aimed at students, employers and professional studies advisors.

Graduate becomes Associate Member

In our efforts to enhance the service we offer to all of our members, on the 4th May 2009, a new membership class, 'Associate Member', replaced the current Graduate class.

Associate Membership has been created to complement the career lifecycle of those individuals pursuing careers influencing building design. It enables those who have the RIBA Parts 1 & 2 qualifications to take advantage of all the benefits and services associated with this new and improved membership class.

Further information on the new Associate Membership class.

To find out how the RIBA Associate Membership will affect you, or for details on how to join the RIBA, please contact Membership Services on (0)20 7307 3800 or email membership.services@inst.riba.org

RIBA North West Monitoring and Support Services
Brochure CoverThe RIBA North West Region is responsible for the PEDR monitoring of the students of the two Liverpool Universities and the Manchester schools, however, the Region has also set up a PEDR signing scheme for students who do not have access to a Professional Studies Advisor. The scheme is available to students undertaking their year out between Part 1 and Part 2 and those at post Part 2 who have not yet started their Part 3 programme. It will also be useful to graduates of overseas courses in UK who have obtained exemptions through the Architects Registrations Board 'examination' programme. Find out more
RIBA Office Based Examination
Do you work in practice and want to further your career as an architect without the expense and commitment of returning to full or part time education? The RIBA runs it's own examination in architecture for practice based candidates, delivered by our partners at Oxford Brookes University. It is a self-study, distance learning programme leading to a Part 1 or Part 2 qualification. Find out more
