Mississippi became the first state to require the IDP in 1978, and Arizona became the most recent in 2009. All 54 U.S. jurisdictions accept the IDP to satisfy their experience requirement.
Since 1976, the only significant change to the program came in 1996 when interns were required to record actual training units earned rather than the percent of time spent in each training area. The program has been monitored annually by NCARB’s Committee on the IDP, which has recommended other minor changes over the years based on interpretations of the current practice of architecture.
In May 2009, NCARB announced the rollout of IDP 2.0, the most significant update to the program since its inception in the 1970s. IDP 2.0 more closely aligns the programs’ requirements with the current practice of architecture and ensures that interns acquire the comprehensive training that is essential for competent practice.
IDP 2.0 was developed in response to the 2007 Practice Analysis of Architecture. In this study, almost 10,000 practicing architects completed an extensive electronic survey to identify the tasks, knowledge, and skills that recently licensed architects, practicing independently, need in order to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
The updates have been rolled out in phases with first phase occurring in July 2009 and the final scheduled for April 2012.
==Participants==
An individual seeking architectural licensure is referred to as an '''“intern.”''' All U.S. states and Canadian provinces prohibit the use of the word “architect” from any person not already licensed to practice architecture. Most states and provinces also prohibit any derivation of the work architect as well.
A '''supervisor''' is someone who reviews and directs the work of others and ensures that work is done within acceptable levels of quality. An IDP supervisor is the individual who supervises an intern on a daily basis. The IDP supervisor is required to certify that the information submitted on an experience report is true and correct.
A '''mentor''' is a loyal adviser, teacher, or coach. An IDP mentor must be a registered architect who makes a long-term commitment to an intern’s professional growth. If possible, the mentor should not work in the same office as the intern, so that the intern can gain useful insight into the daily work experience.
==Rules==
Line 26:
#One Enrollment in a NAAB/CACB-accredited degree program
#Two Enrollment in a pre-professional architecture degree program at a school that offers a NAAB-CACB-accredited degree program
#Three Employment in work setting A after obtaining a U.S. high school diploma, General Education Degree (GED) equivalent, or comparable foreign degree.
In order to gain experience, interns must work under the direct supervision of an IDP supervisor in one of the NCARB approved work settings.
All experience must be reported electronically to NCARB at least every six months through their electronic Experience Verification Reporting (e-EVR) system. Experience may be submitted more often, but NCARB will not accept experience older than eight months (six-months, plus a two-month reporting grace period).
==Experience Requirement==
Interns must acquire 5,600 experience hours in specific experience areas and categories to complete the IDP. The experience requirement is:

* '''IDP Educator Coordinators''' are appointed by the dean of each architecture school with [[NAAB]]-accredited degree program. They are responsible for distributing information and providing guidance to students at their school on the IDP and the path to licensure.
* '''IDP Auxiliary Coordinators''' are volunteers that educate their community about the IDP. They are often associated with firms, local AIA chapters, state boards, or [[AIAS chapters]].
