Welcome to PALS!

At the Institute, we’ve been helping graduates prepare for and pass the Architectural Practice Exam (APE) for over 20 years. Developed by expert members, PALS has now been updated for the next generation of graduates. With more modules, full online access, and virtual tutorials, this highly comprehensive course provides all the essential tools for you to succeed in your practice.

Our dedicated team are here to help and support you throughout your PALS journey. If you have any queries or feedback, you are always most welcome to reach out to us directly via: pals@architecture.com.au.                                                                          

Why Use PALS?

 
  • The program includes 21 pre-recorded new and improved online modules that you can complete in your own time
  • The final module is on preparing for the exam, and is presented by an APE examiner
  • The main reference material for the program is the Institute’s highly regarded Acumen practice notes, and the course includes access to Acumen for 12 months
  • The program also includes access to online tutorials facilitated by experienced architects. You’ll be able to ask questions, explore case studies and learn how to apply your new knowledge in a virtual classroom
  • Access to the PALS program for 12 months, ensuring those who want to study at a slower pace, or need to re-sit the exam, have the flexibility to do so
