The findings, which look at data collected throughout 2020, illuminate the impacts of test center closures, transition to remote work and fluctuating demand for architectural services on the career progress of licensure candidates. It\u2019s not all doom and gloom, however: as of June 2021, the majority of program metrics have returned to normal \u2014 or better \u2014 and point to a new period of growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data pulled from the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) and Architect Registration Examination (ARE) offer insights about how the pandemic impacted candidates\u2019 abilities to reach their career goals according to standard schedules. NCARB\u2019s special report provides a monthly breakdown of this information and contextualizes it by comparison to averages from the previous three years (2017-2019).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-86971 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCARB_COVID19_Infographic.jpg?resize=1500%2C1500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCARB_COVID19_Infographic.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCARB_COVID19_Infographic.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCARB_COVID19_Infographic.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCARB_COVID19_Infographic.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/NCARB_COVID19_Infographic.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In sum, the key take-aways include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of newly licensed architects decreased by 40%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delivery of the national licensing exam dropped by 44%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates reporting professional experience declined by 20%<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applications for reciprocal (out-of-state) licenses remained relatively strong, only dropping by 3%<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s examine these numbers in closer detail:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the onset of the pandemic, Prometric test centers across North America were closed, resulting in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncarb.org\/press\/prometric-are-rescheduling-update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">near elimination<\/a> of exams for over a 3 month period. In most states, the months of April to June proved to be crucial and this pause led to a 44 percent drop in completed over the course of 2020 (around 29,400 \u2014 the previous three-year average was 52,300). <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When test centers in various states were able to re-open in July, there was a quick rise in exam deliveries at numbers that rivalled pre-pandemic levels; however, this proved to be a short-lived spurt and the numbers dropped off again in November, presumably when cases in the US rapidly rose. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Successfully passing this exam is usually the final step before candidates are granted their license, so the number of newly licensed architects closely aligns with the number of completed exams. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The March \u2014 June 2020 test center closure meant that a handful of individuals were unable to complete licensure requirements for an extended period, delaying many cnadidates by nearly four months. The ripple effect is that the number of new architects decreased by 40 percent in 2020 (nearly 2,900 \u2014 the previous three-year average was 4,800.).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, one of the first steps towards becoming licensed is the creation of an NCARB Record, which is used to document professional experience and examination requirements. In 2020, there was a 33 percent decrease in the number of candidates who started a new record. Compared to the previous three-year average of 8, 800, this year saw just 5, 800\u00a0 created. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prior to the March lockdowns, this number was on par with historical trends; record creation numbers also slightly rebounded in the summer months, though this was not a pendulum swing.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peaks periods in the winter and summer could be tied to the start of college semesters; students could be more likely to document professional experience during academic lulls. Yet, it also remains true that many of these opportunities diminished due to COVID-19 as the availability of entry-level roles and early career opportunities like internships plummeted.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201c2020 was a challenging year for every industry, and architecture was no exception,\u201d said NCARB CEO Michael Armstrong. \u201cAs we begin to turn the corner on the pandemic, we are seeing an upward trend that reflects a renewed national focus on infrastructure that protects the public\u2019s health and wellbeing. This focus highlights the important role architects play.
