OAA Self-Study Series for Architects 

The OAA Self-Study Series for Architects comprises training modules drawn from the mandatory OAA Admission Course each Intern Architect must complete as part of the licensing process. This material, while not new to those have completed the Admission Course, is valuable to practicing architects, Licensed Technologists OAA, and related audiences. OAA members select the modules in which they are interested, and cover the material at their own pace (over a three-month period). They must then successfully complete a quiz to finish the course for CE Credit hours.

Whether you are an architect or Licensed Technologist OAA wanting to review some foundational material, someone from outside of the province planning to work in Ontario for the first time, or an architectural practice staff member, participants benefit from the essential material covered in these à la carte courses.
