“After two of my coworkers spoke highly of their time in the bootcamp, I decided to begin the exam process by signing up for the bootcamp. I was a participant in the July 2025 Pro-Practice Bootcamp which ran from July to September. I took PjM on Oct 6th, PcM on Nov 3rd, and CE on Nov 17th and was thankfully able to accomplish my goals of passing the three pro-practice exams all on the first try and before the holidays. I credit this achievement to carefully and rigorously following the Bootcamp curriculum and all of the many bits of amazing advice and wisdom received from the YAC team as well as fellow boot campers. The bootcamp helped me develop a game plan and make good use of my time so that I could find balance and avoid burnout.”

“I would encourage you to do it. It completely changes how you view the exams. It’s not just about gaining knowledge, the bootcamp helps you develop a deeper understanding of the material and how to approach questions.”

“I began taking the Architect Registration Examination (ARE) in 2022. Despite taking five exams early on, I wasn't able to pass any of them. That all changed in April 2024 when I joined the Young Architect Academy Bootcamp - a true game changer. From April 2024 to July 2025, I passed all six ARE exams. In little more than a year, I logged 836 hours of studying to make it happen.”

“After trying different programs on the market and attempting to pass the exams on my own, I found YA. YA has provided me with all the tools and mindset I needed, and it has helped me set realistic expectations and goals to achieve my license. All the material and weekly syllabus are perfectly paced to help me understand the objectives I will be tested on. I'm in week 9 of the program, and I've already improved my understanding and approach to my daily work at the office. Now I feel confident that I'll soon obtain my license and become a better professional.”
