ONLINE Mode of Review for the Architecture Board Exams JUNE 2025 ALE

ATLAS CDC Review has been very successful in its online review program which has been very much appreciated by review students all over the country helping them in their review and consequently passing the exams. With this, AtlasCDC still continues with the ARCHITECTURE E-REVIEW COURSE for those who opt for an online mode instead of the usual face-to-face sessions. This will allow more chances for those who are working or for those who are in the provinces or even if working abroad (for the SPLBE). Reviewing for the board exams in the convenience of their own rooms or work/study places will be a better alternative. With this scenario, ATLAS-CDC Review Center is very proud to announce the opening of the ONLINE REVIEW course for Architecture in preparation for the JUNE 2025 ALE!

The E-Review Course will cover ALL the subjects in the exam: BASIC COMPREHENSIVE COURSE (consisting of all subjects in Day 1 of the exam, i.e., Professional Practice, Building Laws, History and Theory of Architecture, Planning, Architectural Interiors, Tropical Design, Structural Conceptualization, Building Materials, Building Construction, Building, Utilities and Estimating), BASIC DESIGN/RULE 7&8 COURSE (with focus on Rule 7&8 of the NBCP and estimating), and the REFRESHER COURSE (consisting on review of common and recent questions given in the board exams for all subjects).

A FREE 2-day intensive SPECIAL COACHING shall also be given to those who are enrolled in the 3-course Full Package Review.

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNTS are available as well as SPECIAL DISCOUNTS for the following:

honor graduates (summa cum laude/magna cum laude/cum laude)
officers and members of UAPGA, UAPSA, ASAPhil, JrPIA, PIASA
board exam retakers

The online review will be delivered through the Moodle platform and will contain lecture videos and other review activities such as e-quizzes and forum discussions that will make your e-learning comparable to a classroom environment! Moodle is the world's most popular learning management system. It provides an effective online teaching and learning experience in a collaborative, private environment using your desktop, laptop, or even cell phone. Additional quizzes focusing on latest board exam topics and questions can be accessed via Canvas and Google Quiz.
