However, the training units must be verified by the employer at the current place of employment during the time that the intern performed the service. See Appendix I of the IDP Guidelines for suggested professional and community service activities. Community service is not limited to architecturally-related activities, and indeed the range of volunteer work undertaken by interns is broad. This rule is not flexible or subject to appeal. IDP participants will be disappointed if they expect to receive credit for nine weeks of employment, or six months of part-time employment at 19 hours per week, or a short period during the winter break from school.
Some boards require longer employment durations for internship credit.
IDP participants with questions regarding exam eligibility should call their state s registration board.
