The Canberra Accord recognizes the substantial equivalency of accreditation/validation systems in architectural education of the following agencies or organizations:  

• Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA)

• Canadian Architectural Certification Board/Consiel canadien de certification  en architecture  (CACB-CCCA)

• Acreditadora Nacional de Programas de Arquitectura y Disciplinas del Espacio Habitable/Comite para la Practica Internacional de la Arquitectura (ANPADEH/COMPIAR)

• Korea Architecture Accrediting Board (KAAB)

• National Architecture Accrediting Board (NAAB) (U.S.)

• The National Board of Architectural Accreditation of China (NBAA)

• The Royal Australian Institute of Architects (RAIA)

“Substantial equivalency identifies a program/me as comparable in educational outcomes in all significant aspects, and indicates that it provides an educational experience meeting acceptable standards, even though such program/me may differ in format or method of delivery. Substantial equivalency is not accreditation.”
