Examitect's ExAC podcasts are short, Architect-led episodes that walk through each objective of the Examination for Architects in Canada in plain language, across all four sections. In our years helping Intern Architects prepare, our team has seen how much study time hides in commutes and gym sessions; audio turns that time into progress. Examitect is an independent ExAC prep platform unaffiliated with the CACB. You will not pass on listening alone, but you will keep the material in your ear between study sessions, which makes the reading and practice land faster.
The Examitect podcast is a set of short, Architect-led episodes that talk you through the exam one piece at a time. A licensed Architect explains how a topic works and where the marks actually are, in plain language rather than textbook prose. Episodes are grouped by section and then by topic, so the audio follows the same shape as the Examination for Architects in Canada. They stream inline in your browser, and when one episode ends, the next one in the topic starts automatically.
The point is to make the dead parts of your day useful. You are not going to sit at a desk and take notes while you listen; you are going to absorb the shape of a topic on the drive home, so that when you sit down to read or practise later, it already feels familiar. Here is the podcast at a glance.

You pick a section with the tabs at the top, then open a topic to see its episodes. Each topic holds a run of short episodes numbered in order, and you press play on whichever one you want. A few things make it easy to keep listening:
Published episodes are free to listen to on the free podcasts page, so you can try the format before deciding.
Audio is a supplement, and a good one, as long as you treat it like one. Listening builds familiarity and keeps the vocabulary fresh, but it does not build the recall or the applied judgement the exam scores. The way to use it well:
Yes. Examitect includes a podcast of short, Architect-led episodes that walk through the Examination for Architects in Canada section by section. Episodes stream inline in your browser, and you can listen to published episodes free before signing up.
The episodes cover all four ExAC sections, from Pre-Design and Design through Construction Contract Administration. Each section is split into topics, and each topic holds a run of short episodes you can work through in order, so the audio follows the same structure as the exam.
Episodes are short and focused, each one walking through a single piece of an objective in plain language. Across all four sections there is more than twenty hours of audio in total, broken into bite-sized episodes rather than long lectures.
Published episodes are free to listen to on the free podcasts page, with no account required. New episodes go live as they are produced, and full access through a plan unlocks them alongside practice questions, mock exams, flashcards, and the study plan.
Yes. The episodes stream inline and play one after another, with the next episode in a topic starting automatically when one ends. That makes them easy to listen to on the commute, at the gym, or on site without tapping through each one.
The episodes include French captions, so francophone Intern Architects can follow along. The audio walks through every section, and the captions make the same content accessible in French while you listen.
Podcasts are for absorbing, not testing. They are a low-effort way to keep the material in your ear between study sessions and to use dead time productively. Listen to understand a topic, then apply it with practice questions and flashcards, which build the recall and judgement the exam scores.
