“So far, I've passed all of my professional practice exams since I started young architect boot camp. I took another prep course before and failed my CE exam miserably. YA Boot camp shows you what to study, how to study, and provides a tremendous amount of materials and support to help you achieve your goals. It also fosters a community spirit, and I know that I can always reach out to my fellow boot campers and get help or moral support. This is so unique and special. Again, I couldn't have done this without all the tools that YA has provided.”

“I used the ARE Bootcamp for both the Pro Practice and, again, for the Technical program. This was the best thing I could have done to start my ARE journey off in the right direction. The amount of info shared on passing the ARE, but also reviews of other materials meant I didn’t waste anymore time and money. However, the best part of the Bootcamp was the community of people who were on this journey with me who were 100% invested in the success of one another. 10/10 stars love it!!!”

“I was looking for an ARE training program that provided interaction and collaboration, which is exactly what is provided by Young Architect. The ARE Bootcamp is a game changer, and provided me with the direction I needed and a systematic approach to learn the wide variety of materials that is required for the Architectural Registration Exams. If you learn through discussion and collaboration with others, this program WILL help you. They offer a variety of education techniques for visual, auditory, verbal, logical, and social learners. Mike is extremely responsive, and almost always available, which was one of the primary reasons I decided to sign up. The encouragement, breadth of experience and ease of access to materials in this program are second to none.”

“The biggest game-changer has been having a supportive community that truly understands how challenging this journey can be. We keep each other accountable, share knowledge, and grow together. Beyond just learning the material, it's about being able to recall and apply it when it counts, and for that, doing as many practice questions as possible has made a huge difference! Before I found this website I was so overwhelmed by the amount of information out there, this program has helped me narrow down and focus on what truly matters becoming a better architect not just passing an exam.”

“The Practice Management 101 bootcamp from Young Architects has been a game-changer in helping me understand the scope of the ARE test, build my confidence, and ultimately pass my first exam after just 10 weeks. This bootcamp provided exactly what I needed: structure, accountability, and a supportive community. I knew I needed a schedule and a group to rely on, and this program delivered both. The study methods are incredibly effective, with a wide variety of resources—engaging podcasts, informative videos, and practice questions that not only test your knowledge but also teach you new content along the way. The detailed study syllabus breaks down exactly what to focus on for each exam, removing the guesswork and helping me stay on track. The weekly follow-ups were especially helpful, keeping me accountable and guiding me through the entire process step by step. Most importantly, having a group of classmates to study with made all the difference—sharing insights, encouragement, and motivation throughout the journey. Thanks to this bootcamp, I now feel fully equipped to continue my ARE journey with clarity and confidence”
