The PEDR is an electronic record of a graduate's professional experience, development and competency in the practice of architecture. Monitoring and endorsing of Professional Experience Development Record (PEDR) sheets is conducted through the graduate monitoring service at the Leicester School of Architecture. This is a self-directed, work-based exercise which centres on the Royal Institute of British Architects’ (RIBA) PEDR sheets.

There is no formal syllabus and completing the PEDR sheets carries no academic credits. These are an essential component for taking the Part 3 RIBA/ARB exam and, once passed, gaining admittance to the register of architects held by Architects Registration Board.
