3435 - Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) Admission Course
Course Description
The OAA Admission Course is a mandatory requirement for licensure for all Intern Architects and Licensed Technologists in Ontario.
The OAA Admission Course covers topics related to regulatory matters, legal issues, practice issues and information specific to Ontario and is designed to supplement the applicant's formal professional education and practical experience.
Quizzes
In the course you will be asked to complete a series of Confidence Quizzes, which contain a set of 20 multiple choice questions each. This quiz functions differently than traditional quizzing, as they allow you to retake any question you are unsure about the answer and/or select an incorrect answer, and you may retake them as much as you'd like to. Successful course completion involves receiving a score of 100% on each quiz which is based solely on the core module content.
