I am grateful that I decided to enroll in ArcStudio for my board exam review and preparation. The lecturers, review materials, tips and strategies and of course the refresher and coaching paved the way in my successful passing of the board exam. ArcStudio not only showed great professionalism throughout the review but they also offered tremendous moral support to their students which I think is crucial in these very challenging times.
Thank you ArcStudio for helping me realize my dream of becoming a Registered and Licensed Architect. ​

ArcStudio? They’re everywhere, reaching out to those who aspire of becoming architects. ArcStudio lives up to Mies’ dictum, “Less is More”. They keep things simple to what is important and just what we need, they didn’t make our life complicated. Drowsiness, reference, transportation, lodging? They have it addressed so that all we have to do is concentrate and focus on our review. One of the things I learned in ArcStudio is on how to mark our answers in the questionnaires. It helped us a lot in managing our time and in gauging our performance. We’re grateful that ArcStudio is always there from the start until now.​

I can still remember the first day of review class in ArcStudio, as a first timer taker, I was excited with what I will experience. From day one until the last day of the review, we kept learning things in architecture that are very critical in the exam including those which are not taught in school. We were sure deep inside that when exam day comes, we will successfully make it – which eventually happened.
​
Big thanks to ArcStudio for the knowledge & wisdom learned.

When I decided to take the board exam, my only goal is to pass. I did not aspire to be a topnotcher because its hard to focus on the review studies during this Covid-19 pandemic. However with the help of ArcStudio, its dedicated lecturers and outstanding teaching methods, my perspective have gradually changed. They have given us the right review materials and most importantly the right mindset on dealing with every question.
I am very much thankful to ArcStudio for all the knowledge that boosted my confidence to overcome all doubts and anxiety in me. Thank you so much for helping me achieved my dream to be Registered and Licensed Architect. ​

ArcStudio is definitely is the best architecture review center. I started as a wanderer, no miles one to step on, but it change when our dear mentor and friend Arch. Ramilo, was there during these deep moments.
ArcStudio really change my ideals in pursuing my passion in architecture. The constant faith and the studios review patterns have helped me pass through the Architectural Licensure Examination last June 2012.

As the Chinese proverbs goes, "Give man a fish and you feed him for a day, Teach man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime", that’s the exactly the strategy of ArcStudio. Training in a studio environment where interaction, dialogue and thorough analysis of each problem is what shapes the examinees mindset that gives an edge and confidence in investigating even the most difficult question one can face during the board exam. In ArcStudio, you don’t just learn but made.

Reviewing for the architecture licensure exam should not be boring, grey and dull – where you’re better off studying by yourself. It should be a fun experience, where you learn not only from the instructor’s scribbles on the white board, but from group discussions and activities, which enhances critical thinking, analysis and common sense.
At ArcStudio, you get your money’s worth and more offering a great review environment, the best instructors, and the best of all – free UNLIMITTED coffee till you drop.

Who would knew that the world would shut down because of Covid-19. Who will know that the board exams would be postponed several times but yet ArcStudio did not stop teaching. During those uncertain times, I felt taken care, there is juts that zeal from the studio to never let its students down. We've got international lecturers, industry partners and experience architects and so much more.
ArcStudio's passion to nurture its students have prepared us not just for the exam but has opened our eyes to what we could become and be part of in the future. I received more that I expected, and for that I will be always grateful.

ArcStudio taught us to soar high!
