This will allow learning providers to give better advice on progress.<\/p>\n<p>The record will not be assessed by the ARB as part of the registration process, and is purely intended to help trainees identify gaps in their experience.<\/p>\n<h4>New guidance for trainees and employers<\/h4>\n<p>The new guidance for trainees and employers explains their roles and responsibilities in professional practical experience, and ensure that the experience is productive, fair, and meaningful.<\/p>\n<h4>Revised standards for learning providers<\/h4>\n<p>These new standards focus on providers giving support through a trainees qualification route, including oversight of individual progress, and ensuring access to appropriate guidance and support, as well as giving examples for how providers can develop relationships with employers to support their trainees.<\/p>\n<h4>Removal of the two-year minimum requirement<\/h4>\n<p>The minimum two-years of practical experience for applicants to have is being removed, with favour being given to qualifications demonstrating they have met all of ARB\u2019s Competency Outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>This will improve flexibility for learning providers to develop qualifications that combine academic learning and practical experience, without trainees needing to categorise their experience according to a time requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Alan Kershaw, ARB chair, said: \u201cOur aim is to make sure that all trainees have access to high-quality practical experience and the support they need to develop the competence required for registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe feedback we received through our consultation has helped us further strengthen and refine our proposals. We have used this to shape changes that will give trainees a more supportive and flexible experience, while maintaining the high standards required for registration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new framework for practical experience published today will give learning providers greater flexibility to integrate academic learning and practical experience. It will also provide much greater transparency for trainees about what they should expect from their PPE and how they can access guidance and support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ARB is also currently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/consultation-launched-arb-prescribed-examination\/164490\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consulting on changes to their prescribed examination.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>RIBA approve of the move, but warns of cost issues<\/h3>\n<p>RIBA chair of board of trustees, Jack Pringle said: \u201cWe\u00a0are pleased to\u00a0see\u00a0the\u00a0removal\u00a0of the two-year practical experience\u00a0requirement\u00a0before registration.\u00a0The\u00a0shift\u00a0towards\u00a0focusing on\u00a0competence rather than\u00a0prescribed\u00a0timeframes,\u00a0is\u00a0long\u00a0overdue.\u00a0This\u00a0also\u00a0supports our\u00a0call for\u00a0a\u00a0streamlined five-year\u00a0route to\u00a0the\u00a0register, while\u00a0ensuring\u00a0aspiring architects\u00a0have\u00a0both\u00a0the skills and\u00a0opportunities\u00a0to gain relevant experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We also welcome ARB\u2019s commitment to accredit our Professional Experience Development Record (PEDR) as a recognised Trainee Record of Experience, cutting admin for students and practices at a time where workloads are increasingly stretched.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, care must be taken to ensure that any additional requirements for learning providers do not result in increased costs for students, particularly at a time when graduate debt remains a significant concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Architects Registration Board is making changes to the ARB professional practical experience required for applicants and trainees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":164909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[285],"tags":[173337,702,592,596],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-164908","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hr-skills-news","8":"tag-architects-registration-board","9":"tag-architecture","10":"tag-skills","11":"tag-training"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ARB makes changes to professional practical experience to support trainees<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Architects Registration Board is making changes to the ARB professional practical experience required for applicants and trainees\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/arb-makes-changes-professional-practical-experience-support-trainees\/164908\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ARB makes changes to professional practical experience to support trainees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Architects Registration Board is making changes to the ARB professional practical experience required for applicants and trainees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/arb-makes-changes-professional-practical-experience-support-trainees\/164908\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
