Preparing to take the Mutual Recognition Agreement Exam
Fiona Mckay
On Tuesday 8th April 2025 the chapter held a session on Preparing for the UK/USA Mutual Recognition Agreement for architects presented by Alex Miller, AIA RIBA and Bryan Oknyansky, AIA hosted at KPF architects offices in Covent Garden. The chapter has considered and campaigned for Mutual Recognition since its founding. Now with the process up and running as adminstered by the ARB, Bryan and Alex shared their experience as two of the early cohort to successfully pass the adaptation assessment exam. The event was well attended by practitioners at various career stages. We were appreciative that our guests included the attendance of Chris Williamson, RIBA, the 2025-2027 RIBA President.
While the ARB has refined the information available for candidates since launch including the Reference Sources Resource list, no study guide as such been available until now.
We trust the recording from this event and the slides from the presentation adapted as a guide assist future candidates seeking reciprocity.
Please find the event recording HERE and the presentation slides HERE.
