For these questions below, use the definitions as outlined by ncarb.org: An AXP supervisor is the individual who supervises the candidate on a daily basis and has professional knowledge of and responsibility for the individual's work. The AXP supervisor is required to certify that the information that the candidate submits on their experience report is true and correct and that the candidate has performed the task competently. An AXP mentor offers instruction, encouragement, and advice to candidates as they navigate the path to licensure. While typically this individual does not monitor a candidate’s experience reports, there are specific opportunities where mentors who are licensed to practice architecture in the United States or Canada can act as an AXP supervisor. 13.
