“Young Architect Bootcamp is more than just a study resource, it's a structured support system that helps you stay focused, disciplined, and accountable. The magic of the Bootcamp lies not only in its 10-week program, but in the lasting impact it creates through ongoing weekly meetups and a strong sense of community. These study groups encourage meaningful discussions that deepen your understanding of exam topics and help reinforce key concepts. Beyond studying, it becomes a supportive network of people who genuinely want to see you succeed, you're never going through this process alone.”

“The Pro Practice Bootcamp last year supported me through success I had only dreamt about before then. It truly made a difference. Over the past year, I completed all three pro-practice exams (PjM, CE, and PCM), and Bootcamp played a major role in helping me push past years of spinning wheels. The support, mindset training, and structure made a huge impact. What stood out to me most was how generous and thoughtful the Young Architect team is. They truly take into account the person as a whole. The encouragement, the chips when you pass, the sense of community, all of it matters. It’s not just a prep program. It’s a support system. Now I’m returning for the Technical Bootcamp with the same level of commitment, ready to finish what I started and earn my license. I’m both excited and slightly nervous, but I know I’m in good company. Thank you again for everything.”

“I wish I had joined sooner. The bootcamp guides you on how to study effectively. The hard work is up to you, but at least you'll know you're heading in the right direction. These exams take more than knowledge; they need strategy, training, motivation, and support. The bootcamp provides you with all this support. I highly recommend it!”

“I tried to pass the exams twice but that was very frustrating. Then I attended boot camp for pro practice exams and I passed them right away. I will attend the technical soon and I recommend it firmly.”

“The Set Syllabus and having a community of folks to study with and discuss while keeping me accountable. When I took these tests years ago, I was ready to deep dive but when I got stuck, I didn't know where to go to come up for air. Ultimately, test day was fixed with uncertainty on certain topic that I never became an unstuck concepts and play of words. Here at YA Bootcamp, I can chat with the Team, go through supporting documents to work through all the content of the test. Create my own practice questions when hosting meet up discussions. I have a busy hectic schedule, so being able to have a syllabus and structured study strategy was just the framework I needed to put in the work to prep properly for my test. Variety of content that worked for me on my commutes, runs, and even while walking the dog. Whether it is listening to Podcast, downtime to reading, Videos on repeat of contracts during long runs all the content allows me to learn and relearn in different ways, so I can be best professional I can be for the long run in the end.”

“The biggest game-changer for me was how the Pro Practice Bootcamp broke down dense, intimidating content into manageable and clearly structured lessons. Each module built logically on the last, and it wasn’t just about memorizing information. It was about truly understanding how everything connects in practice. The clarity and organization of the material gave me the confidence I needed to walk into my first ARE exam (Construction Evaluation) and pass it with ease. I felt prepared, calm, and focused because of this course. Looking forward to finishing the professional practice exams and joining the technical bootcamp!”

“I attended the Young Architect Academy boot camp, and it was both incredibly helpful and inspiring. Michel, our coach, provided us with a clear study plan: he assigned coursework, shared reading schedules, recommended how much time to spend on each topic, and curated study guides, reading outlines, and video materials. We also met weekly as a group, where one of us would paraphrase ARE practice questions and we’d take turns answering them—an exercise that sharpened our exam skills and boosted our confidence. In short, the Young Architect Academy is the perfect place to start your ARE journey. With dedication, their structured guidance will carry you all the way to the finish line”
