ARE Exams at UWF

ARE test-takers rejoice! No more trips to Mobile, Dothan or Tallahassee...you can take the test in Pensacola! Testing is now available at the UWF testing center. Remember to select the Pensacola testing center when registering for your exam.

AIA Florida Northwest worked directly with AIA Florida Board members and Associate Directors and Florida's NCARB representatives to provide this added value to future architects in our area.

Did you know that AIA Florida Northwest has funds available for scholarships to augment the participation costs in community leadership development programs that exist within our chapter region? Our intent is:  1) to increase the numbers of our members engaged in these programs, 2) to obtain tools, insights and relationships that will benefit our profession as a whole, and 3) to then create connections within our chapter communities demonstrating the value of architects in leadership roles.
