The goal of the X-Tran programme is to make graduates more marketable by providing them with the tools they’ll need to thrive in the working life as a graduate architect for today’s young professionals. The course was designed to be six weekends of all-day classes, each covering two different topics. This 6-session course costs RM200.00 (including lunch) and is aimed at young architects with five years of professional experience.

The course’s speakers and presenters are registered architects with experience from a wide range of Projects and work experience. With this, it is hoped that this will speed up their learning and get them ready to be a competent and active member of the architectural profession.
