ARE Review Seminars

 

<<Home

 

Studying for the ARE? The AIA East Bay can help! We offer an annual review series for    candidates preparing for the ARE. Classes are grouped so you can take the review session, identify and improve areas of weakness, and then take the exam before studying new topics.

Chapter members can check out Kaplan Study Materials from our ARE Lending Library. Two items may be borrowed at a time for 72 hours. Contact us for more information.

AIA members and allied professionals bring their years of knowledge and experience to an informative review session for those familiar with the basic material covered in each section of the exam. At the end of each class students evaluate the course content and materials, as well as the presenter's knowledge and presentation skills. This ensures the quality of the program is high from year to year.

 

All lecture sessions will be held in the chapter office or the auditorium of the Elihu Harris State Office Building, both at 1405 Clay Street. See Map for directions.

Please note that more classes are currently being scheduled.

Please contact the chapter office at 510/464-3600 with any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions about the ARE Seminar Series 

Are these seminars for ARE 3.1 or 4.0?

All the 2009 seminars are for the ARE 4.0. Chapter Members can check out ARE 3.1 study materials published by Kaplan A/E/C and the Ballast books at no charge!

I don't want to use my credit card online.

While Acteva does offer secure online-credit card transactions, we realize some people prefer to mail in a check. Therefore, feel free to mail or walk-in your registration and check. Also, you can walk-in to the office and pay by credit card.

 

Can I pick up course material early? 

Yes! The course material will be available one week prior to class start date. Please contact the chapter office at 510/464-3600. Please note you will be charged for duplicate materials.

How can I become a member of AIA East Bay?

If you live and/or work in Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Solano County or Napa County you can join AIA East Bay. If you're currently a member in another AIA chapter but qualify for membership in the AIA East Bay you can download a transfer form here.

 

I'm a member of another AIA chapter. Why don't I get the full AIA discount?

Members of other chapters receive member discounts, our Chapter Members recieve a deeper discount.

I'm not a member of AIA East Bay, but my firm is. Do I get the chapter member rate?

Yes! If your firm is an AIA East Bay Member Firm (call 510/464-3600 x.11 to confirm), simply enter the firm's name in the "Member Number" position of the registration form.

I registered but now I can't make it. Can I get a refund?

Since AIA East Bay has to make a commitment to compensate the instructors, we regret cannot give full refunds. However, you can transfer your registration to someone else. Refunds are as follows:

 

Refund Information:

80% refund given if cancelled more than two weeks prior to class.

40% refund given if cancelled more than seven days prior to class.

Are food and beverages included in registration costs?

No. 

 

Are there hotels nearby? Where should I stay?

There are many hotels and motels in downtown Oakland and Jack London Square. You can look at them at www.expedia.com.

 

Where can I park? What's the nearest BART Station?

We strongly recommend you take advantage of the BART. We are one block from the 12th Street City Center BART station. If you decide to drive, there are numerous parking garages within a block of the chapter office. The Clay Street Garage, between 14th & 15th Streets, is free on Saturdays and Sundays, and opens at 9:30am on the weekend.

Are review books included in the cost of the session?  

Course materials are included in the cost of the session. However, we encourage you to supplement your preparations with the Kaplan A/E/C materials as well. They are available for 48-hour loan to all chapter members on a first-come basis. Non-members are free to use them as reference materials in the chapter office (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm).
