About Young Architect:

We turn architecture professionals into licensed architects.

Young Architect has been a leader in ARE prep since 2013, offering products at every price point for every stage of your licensing journey.

Our flagship program The ARE Bootcamp is the only program for the ARE - everything else is just study materials. We give you the plan so you can focus on studying, not figuring out what to study. Just like architecture school, candidates learn together following our strategic curriculum.

We also offer many online courses with comprehensive CDT and ARE prep programs consisting of over 150 hours of video content and 1000+ practice questions.

Founded by Michael Riscica, a licensed architect coaching ARE candidates since 2015. Our philosophy: use your path to licensure to master the craft of practicing architecture.

Over 20,000 architecture professionals have worked with Young Architect to achieve licensure.
