California Architect License Exam
The California Supplemental Examination (CSE) is a Professional Licensure exam established and regulated by The California Architects Board. In order to become a licensed architect in the State of California, a candidate must pass the CSE, in addition to passing the required national architect registration exams, and completing all other requirements. The exam was previously delivered in an oral format, but around 2010 it was converted to be a computer-delivered, multiple-choice examination.
The CSE is administerd through a vendor, by permission of the California Architects Board. Upon completion of the Intern Development Program (IDP) and successful completion of the Architect Registration Examination (ARE), a candidate is then permitted to sit for the California Supplemental Exam. The test plan is organized into four separate topics covering a variety of specific aspects of architectural Practice.
