I finished my Part 1(BArch) overseas (3 years) , and my Uni is validated by RIBA…Then i finished my Part 2 (MArch) in the UK..
So i am a bit lost with the whole ARB thing.. i know that if i want to be a licensed architect in the uk, i would have to sit an ARB exam.. but just Part 1, right? now, i plan to work in the uk but employers ask me do i want to progress towards Part 3, and i am a bit lost..can i do Part 3 if i don’t do Part 1 examination before or what???
You need to speak with the RIBA directly. This situation is not uncommon, but does require some liasing with the governing body to ensure you take all the necessary steps to finish your qualifications. I assume to enter any Part III program you'd already have these items in order.
For employers - answer that you do want to progress towards Part III. Always better to indicate that it is your intention. If they question further, you can elaborate that you are verifying your undergraduate degree with RIBA and expect to begin the final qualification once that is wrapped up.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your answer!
I will definitely have to talk with them... Those new reforms that ARB presented are promising but still - nothing specific and exact.
Thank you :)
