Since 2013 over 150 Associates have joined an ARE Success Team to support them on their path to licensure. Let 2026 be the year YOU get licensed!

Our ARE Success teams are designed to support our Associate members through a self-structured yet focused approach, providing the materials, mentorship, and camaraderie needed to pass the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) in a timely manner. Largely self-structured, teams coordinate meeting times and locations to study together, share resources and tips, and keep each other on track. Each member pledges to meet with and support their team members throughout the completion of the ARE.  

To be on a team in 2026, you must attend this event. At this event you will:

Hear the latest NCARB updates & ARE guidelines

Learn ARE Success Team tips & tricks

Find your new study crew!

Teams are free to meet up at their convenience following this Kick-Off meeting. A library of study materials materials is available at the Center for Architecture & Design for team members to borrow.

Note: To attend this event and be on a team, you must be a current AIA Kansas City Associate member and have your authorization to test from NCARB.
