Are you passionate about driving climate action and sustainability in architecture? The RAIC is seeking a licensed architect or subject matter expert to serve as an Advisor to Professional Practice, helping advance sustainable design and advocate for responsible architecture in Canada. This two-year advisory role includes an annual honorarium. 

So much of architectural practice is project-driven—so it is crucial that you follow the most up-to-date project management practices, tools and techniques. Gain a solid grounding in this skill with our latest hybrid course, Project Management for Architects. It also supports preparation for the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification exam. 

This course features 15 hours of online instruction and a three-day in-person workshop. The Fall intake will have its workshop take place in Toronto, and the Winter intake in Calgary.

Enroll now and secure your spot in this limited-capacity course (30 participants per class).
