How do I submit EPC work for IDP credit?
Each exercise/scenario is worth one IDP Training Unit for IDP
interns. Once on the new page, as an intern, you can scroll down
until you find the “Intern Reporting Form”. Clicking on
the reporting form will bring you to the log-in page for reporting
your credit. If you are an Associate Member of the AIA, you can
enter your AIA number as your log-in ID. If you are an intern who
is not an AIA member, you must enter the AIA number you were
provided with by e-mail when you first logged onto the EPC. Please
note that the number will not allow you to submit for credit for
the first two weeks after you have received it. This is due to
internal processing procedures.
Once you have logged in, check the box next to “self-report
form” and click "continue". First, you will be asked to select
the number of the chapter you are submitting. Then you must choose
the section you completed. The sections correspond with the type of
work you are submitting and are coded according to the
following:
DCL: Design and Construction Liability
EBL: Evidence-Based Learning
ETH: Ethical Dilemma
EXE: Exercises
HSW: Health, Safety & Welfare
The levels A, B, and C stand for basic level, intermediate level
and advanced level respectively. Once you have selected your
section, you will use the “search” function to look up
the name of the exercise you completed. If it is correct, you can
move on to the reporting form. You will fill out the form and click
“submit”. This form will then be processed to appear on
your AIA transcript.
Submitting to NCARB
Fill out your NCARB Employment Verification Form 123
(www.ncarb.org) including the number of units completed in the EPC
in the "Supplementary Education" column. Meet with your IDP
supervisor and/or IDP mentor to review your work. Get your
supervisor and mentor to sign this form to attest that you have
achieved the appropriate level of competency to gain this credit.
Attach a copy of your AIA transcript showing the EPC exercises you
have completed to your NCARB Employment Verification Form 123 and
send it in. Printing your transcript from your computer is an
acceptable copy to submit to NCARB.
