search the forum... its been discussed before

Jess - ARB vs RIBA for beginners!

How about RIBA accredited schools throughout Europe, and what is that worth as far as getting licensed in the EU. Licensing requirements in GB vs France, Spain... etc?

BOTS start with ARB=£££+£££+£££+£££and then if you are from anywhere they don't like add £££££££ as well.

Bastards. You'd think they would welcome people who could start getting their crappy building indusrty in line, but apparently not.

Ooh ARB v RIBA i like it!! Good idea as many students are not aware of the ARB and the disinction between the two! Thanks

Jess - There's a distinction between the two? I thought they were both self centric with delusions of gradeur within the Proffession!

Jess - ARB vs RIBA could be a non starter as there is a bias as you will be writing from an RIBA position. Try no to fall into the trap of adding to the bull shit that currently spews forth from both on regular occations.

RIBA has my vote for the moment.

"I thought they were both self centric with delusions of grandeur within the Profession!" Haha! Yes BOTS I agree somewhat BUT that doesn't mean there aren't distinctions between the two!!! Hopefully it will be more informative than biased....but no promises just yet!
