The Course lectures cover a range of subjects and focus on practice-related matters, as well as the legal and legislative context within which Technologists OAAAS practise in Ontario. 

It is assumed that most technical, creative and management subjects considered basic knowledge to architectural practice will have been adequately covered as part of the applicant’s certified academic requirements. 

Technologists OAAAS are encouraged to become familiar with information relating to the Course through observation or directly participating in practice situations within their work environment. 

Lecture Topics:

• Regulation of the Architectural Profession
• Legal Aspects and Contracts
• The Ontario Building Code
• Bid Theory and Practice
• Planning and Development
• Construction Lien Act
• Contract Administration and General Review

Registration Deadline:

The Registration Deadline of January 31, 2012 will be strictly enforced.  All OAAAS applicants must return the completed application form to the OAAAS office by the deadline. 

Note: Although individual course lectures will be offered to architects as Continuing Education modules through the OAA Conference Registration Process, registration by Technologists OAAAS through that process will not be credited towards official Course completion.

Cancellation of a registration with a full refund is permitted up to February 29, 2012.  No refund of the registration fee will be given after that date.
