The first major change to the program came in 1996 when it became 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 Internship Committee, which has recommended other minor changes over the years based on interpretations of the current practice of architecture.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ncarb.org/Experience-Through-Internships/IDP-2/IDP2-History.aspx|title=NCARB - National Council of Architectural Registration Boards|website=www.ncarb.org|access-date=2016-04-07}}</ref>
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 program's requirements with the current practice of architecture and ensures 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 were rolled out in phases with the first phase occurring in July 2009 and the final in April 2012.<ref>[http://www.ncarb.org/News-and-Events/News/2011/10-IDP-2.aspx Final Phase of IDP 2.0 to be Implemented April 2012]</ref> In July 2015, the IDP was [http://www.ncarb.org/Experience-Through-Internships/IDP2-Experience-Categories-Areas.aspx streamlined] to reduce experience hours required from 5,600 to 3,740. (Some jurisdictions require documentation of additional hours to meet their experience requirement. NCARB recommends that you submit all experience until you have satisfied your jurisdiction’s requirement. See individual jurisdiction’s requirements [http://www.ncarb.org/Experience-Through-Internships/IDP2-Experience-Categories-Areas/Experience-Requirement-by-State.aspx '''here'''].)
In order to address the findings of the 2012 Practice Analysis, NCARB began an in-depth review and overhaul of the experience program to ensure that the requirements continued to adhere to current architectural practice. In addition, NCARB decided to rename the IDP the Architectural Experience Program (AXP) as part of an effort to sunset the term “intern.”
The introduction of the new name and the overhaul were both launched on June 29, 2016. In the AXP, the previous 17 experience categories were realigned into six broad areas that reflect the current practice of architecture.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ncarb.org/News-and-Events/News/2016/AXP-Launch.aspx|title=NCARB Launches Architectural Experience Program|last=|first=|date=2016-06
