Architect Licensing Requirements Explained

To be considered an architect both technically and legally in the Philippines requires specific educational and licensing requirements. Technically, one must have a BS in Architecture and complete 2 years (4,000 hours) of apprenticeship. Legally, one must be at least 21 years old, pass the licensure exam for architects, and register with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Philippine Regulations Commission (PRC), and local government for tax and professional identification. Unlicensed individuals can produce plans only under the direct supervision of a licensed architect.
