Yes

No
If yes, please provide more information about these sections and how we might mitigate this.
The fact that someone who studied in the EU does not have to sit for the part 1 & part 2 exams while others from different countries have to! this is clearly unfair!
For me personally (and more likely the thousands in my situation), i have more than a decade of experience in London, and i have thought, oversaw and mentored students and architects from EU countries over the years. the fact that they had studied in a EU country gave them an automatic access to the Architects register! where non EU architects had to prepare 2 portfolios, sit 2 exams, get 2 years of experience and go back to university and study for one more year in order to be able to register as an architect in the UK!!!!! I don't think this fair neither the right way to go forward and quite frankly this a clear discrimination which affects many architect who are professionally and socially contributing to make the uk better and better.

13. Any other comments
Do you have any other comments about the proposed procedures?
I would urge the ARB to reconsider the proposed procedures, and make one route for EU and Non EU professionals.
