Act, a natural person is eligible for registration on the
register of architects if the person, on application to the Board, satisfies
the Board that he or she—
(a) has
qualifications approved or recognised by the Board for the purposes of
registration on the register; and
(b) has
met the requirements determined by the Board to be necessary for the purposes

order to enable the person—
(i)
to do whatever is necessary to become eligible for full
registration under this Act; or

in its opinion, it would otherwise be in the public interest to do so.
