<p>The Intern Development Program (IDP) is a national program, developed and administered by <a href="/facts/NCARB/WukdjvN3">NCARB</a>, in the United States designed to provide structured training for Intern Architects to ensure that they are exposed to most aspects of the architectural profession prior to attaining professional licensure.
</p><p>A candidate works under the tutelage of one or more architects as mentor(s) on a regular basis.  Additionally, the intern architect selects a sponsor, who is an architect who does not work for the firm where the intern is employed.  Together, the mentor and the sponsor work with the intern to make sure that the intern is actively working towards satisfying the requirements of the IDP program.
</p><p>The program prescribes the minimum experience hours required in various activities pertaining to practice in architecture before attaining professional licensure.  Interns track these hours using experience reports that are verified and confirmed by their mentor.  These activities fall into four categories: Pre-Design, Design, Project Management, and Practice Management, each of which includes tasks that architects will perform as part of their professional responsibilities.  In total, interns must complete 5600 hours of reported experience before attaining professional licensure. In most states Interns may begin taking the <a href="/facts/Architect_Registration_Examination/566tEQMD">Architect Registration Examination</a> (ARE) while they are participating in the Intern Development Program, but will not attain professional licensure before successful completion of both the ARE and IDP.
