The most up-to-date information about the Latvian Association of Architects Certification Center (LAS SC) is available on the LAS SC website!
The LAS Certification Center is an independent structural unit of the Latvian Association of Architects, responsible for assessing the competence of certified architects and overseeing their practice. The experts at the Certification Center review documents submitted for initial certification, assess examination papers, and provide opinions on certificate issuance. They also evaluate the professional development exams for certified architects, monitor compliance with the requirements for the architect's practice period, and conduct assessments to address complaints submitted to the center.
The SC operates independently and impartially concerning applicants, certified individuals, their employers, collaborators, and clients. Decisions are made independently, based on regulatory requirements, approved professional standards of good practice, and quality criteria. The SC emphasizes the importance of impartiality, manages conflicts of interest, and ensures objectivity in all certification activities.
Confidentiality is strictly maintained by the LAS SC. Information obtained during the certification process about personal data, professional information gathered by the Center during assessment and certification, and any information designated as confidential by the individual (candidate) is not disclosed or used except for the purpose of conducting certification activities.
The Latvian Association of Architects Certification Center staff and members of the LAS SC board do not participate in the assessment or decision-making process concerning individuals with whom they have current or past relationships of kinship, friendship, work, business, or have provided training within the last two years, to avoid potential conflicts of interest.
