Sceptical, I did actually go to Ireland, and started the process there...with my degree recognised, I was on my way to be a Part 3 Architect again.

Unfortunately the collapse of the construction industry did for my job and case study, then when I went to continue my studies a year later (having moved back to the UK) I found that in the meantime the EU rules had changed: I'd have to qualify and then practice in a bankrupt country where nothing was happening, for 3 years, before I could avail of the Architects Directive and call myself an Architect in the UK.

Needless to say I didn't bother.

Ridiculous though that ARB on the one hand have so many exemptions, on the other hand basically want me to do my degree again (my course syllabus in Oz was set 25 years ago, hardly current for what ARB demands to see now)
