The EU's Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC) is an example of legally regulated design practice, setting binding standards, such as five years of education plus traineeship, for who may use the title "architect."
A prime example of this variable is the highly regulated practice of architecture as legally defined in many jurisdictions, such as within the European Union under the Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC). This legislation establishes non-negotiable procedures and standards that legally define who can use the professional title of "architect." It mandates a minimum of five years of university-level education plus a period of professional traineeship.
