What you'll learn
Our course will provide you with a holistic understanding of business. You will no longer have the feeling that you are missing gaps in your education. Instead, you will feel confident leading your practice and well-prepared for conversations with clients, peers and employees.
Over 8 weeks you’ll learn the key concepts across foundational areas of business, including finance, sales and marketing, vision, structure, leadership and management. Critically you'll learn about them in the context of the economic and health climate we currently find ourselves in.
We should mention that this is not an architect teaching an architect. We believe that, in order for architects to succeed in business, it is crucial to have an unbiased, external figure that can properly teach you all of the concepts that your professors, employers and fellow architects could not.

The difference between information and real education is partnership. In a true education experience, the teacher and student ‘share’ responsibility for the student’s success. The teacher is invested just as much as the student. With Archibiz you have a committed partner in your course success.
Your responsibility in the partnership is to bring 100% of your effort and expertise; to participate, read, watch and do the work and to reach out when you need help with the program.
If you don’t find value in the first 30 days of the program and have brought 100% of your effort and expertise in that time, then we will refund 100% of your money. You just need to let us know within the first 30 days of enrolling in the program.

said about DAPS:
A Word From our Chief Mentor
“I see such potential in architects and their practices. Too often that potential remains locked up because architects have never been taught the basics of business.
Rectifying that situation is my passion. Seeing our clients with good workflow, decent salaries and money in the company bank account gives me amazing satisfaction.”
RAY BROWN
