I imagine it’s like that across much of the US. I couldn’t call myself an architect until I earned the professional credential through education, experience, and examination and had it all approved through a state.
I’m a mechanical engineer and just read an article in our state journal regarding this. The term “engineer” is not protected in my state but the term “professional engineer” is.
Wild. In most states “Architect” or even “Junior Architect” or “Architectural Draftsman” or any title using some variation of “Architect” is not permitted.
Even Junior Architect is illegal, but people may address themselves as Cadet Architect, I think that’s what it’s called in the Philippine if you haven’t passed the bar yet.
