PLATINUM COACHING: The Mentorship + Support You Need
Get through all of your exams in a year!
We developed our Platinum Coaching when it was clear that ARE5.0 was causing candidates to overthink and second-guess these questions. Using a mentorship approach, we coach you to take an exam every two months and support you along every step.
You can add on Platinum Coaching to any subscription for as little $45/month more. That gets you the daily study plans, the coaching videos, the live Zoom calls, access to our Slack workspace, and support from two licensed architects with over 30 years of experience each. Stop taking this on all by yourself!

Our mindset-based approach is designed for lasting understanding. Instead of cramming facts, you’ll uncover the deeper “why” behind how things work—giving you the clarity and confidence you need on exam day.
You already know architecture; you’ve been living it for years. What’s missing is the strategy to connect your experience with the way the exam is structured.
That’s where we come in. With mindset tools and judgment-building exercises built into every course, we help you stay calm, think clearly, and approach every question with purpose.

How do I know if I need coaching?
Many people are really good at staying disciplined and studying every day on their own. They like doing it all themselves and don’t need coaching.
Others like the structure that our Platinum Coaching provides with the daily study plans, the coaching videos, the live Zoom calls, and the ability to ask two licensed architects questions every single day. Remember that every successful person in history had a coach or mentor to help them along the way.
Plus, you can always start out on your own and add coaching later to your subscription.
