Urban Development Committee

The Armenian urban development specialist test is the knowledge check behind the five-year continuous professional development (ՇՄԶ) certificate required under the Law On Urban Development and RA Government Decision No. 2106-N. It is held at least once a year by a qualification commission of the Urban Development Committee, electronically and in person: 100 test tasks drawn from the test base for the candidate's profession, 90 minutes, and a pass mark of at least 75 correct answers. The certificate is issued within three working days of the result and is valid for five years. The Committee does not publish the test items or any domain weightings, so this bank is weighted editorially across Armenian urban development law, ՀՀՇՆ 20.04-2020 seismic design, materials and geotechnics, building services and site supervision.

A.1 year
B.3 years
C.5 years
D.Indefinitely without expiration
Explanation: Under RA Government Decision No. 2106-N, specialist qualification certificates in urban development activities (issued after examination or CPD credit verification) are valid for a period of 5 years, after which the specialist must undergo recertification.
4Under RA Government Decision No. 2106-N, what are the three tiered classes of licenses and specialist qualification categories established for urban development activities?
A.Junior, Senior, and Principal classes
B.1st Class (highest complexity/risk), 2nd Class (medium complexity), and 3rd Class (baseline complexity)
C.Local, Regional, and National classes
D.Level A, Level B, and Level C licenses based solely on turnover
Explanation: Decision No. 2106-N categorizes urban development licensing and specialist qualification certificates into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd classes. 1st Class allows working on the highest risk/complexity structures (Category IV and V), 2nd Class covers medium risk (Category III), and 3rd Class covers baseline risk (Category II).
5How are construction and building objects classified by risk category (ռիսկայնության աստիճան) under RA Government Decision No. 596-N and Armenian urban development norms?
A.Class A, B, C, D (4 levels)
B.Five categories I to V: low (I), medium (II), above-medium (III), high (IV) and highest (V) risk
C.Low, Medium, High (3 levels)
D.Group 1 to Group 10 based on gross floor area
Explanation: Chapter IV of the procedure approved by RA Government Decision No. 596-N of 19 March 2015 classifies urban development objects into five degrees (categories) of risk according to their volume, purpose, importance and complexity and the safety of people and the environment: low risk (category I), medium risk (category II), above-medium risk (category III), high risk (category IV) and highest risk (category V).

B.Ensuring comprehensive technical coordination, structural safety, code compliance (ՀՀՇՆ), and inter-disciplinary consistency across all engineering sections of design documentation
C.Performing daily on-site safety gear inspections for contractor personnel
D.Signing commercial leasing agreements with future building tenants
Explanation: The Chief Project Engineer (ԳՆԻ / CPE) bears full technical and legal responsibility for the design documentation, ensuring that architectural, structural, civil, and MEP engineering drawings comply with Armenian Building Norms (ՀՀՇՆ), seismic requirements, and the approved planning assignment.
8Which projects are subject to mandatory State or Complex Expert Examination (Քաղաքաշինական փաստաթղթերի փորձաքննություն) before construction permits can be issued in Armenia?
A.Only small garden sheds and single-storey farm outbuildings

Category IV covers special and most important construction objects, whose design documentation is subject to state complex expertise including the conclusions of the authorised state bodies. Category V objects go through special complex expertise, with permitting conditions and deadlines fixed by a Government decision for each individual case.
9What is the legal objective of Author's Supervision (Հեղինակային հսկողություն) during construction in Armenia?

B.To verify that the physical construction strictly adheres to the approved architectural and engineering design documentation and to approve necessary field revisions
C.To supply crane operators and heavy machinery to the site
D.To take over civil liability if the contractor defaults on bank loans
Explanation: Author's Supervision (Հեղինակային հսկողություն) is carried out by the design organization/author. Its statutory function is to ensure that the contractor executes the works in full conformity with approved drawings and specifications, to resolve technical design ambiguities, and to sign off on hidden works and changes.
10What is the primary role of the Technical Supervisor (Տեխնիկական հսկիչ) on an Armenian construction site?

B.To design the building's structural calculation model from scratch
C.To manage concrete truck batching schedules at the off-site plant
D.To perform marketing and real estate sales for the building units
Explanation: The Technical Supervisor acts as the client's/developer's certified technical representative on site. They perform continuous quality verification, check laboratory test results (concrete cubes, compaction), inspect reinforcement and hidden works, and maintain the site logbook.

Armenia Engineer Attestation Study Tips from Top Performers

1Work from ՀՀՇՆ 20.04-2020 rather than the repealed 2006 seismic code: the 2020 zoning map raised the design accelerations to 0.3g, 0.4g and 0.5g and moved to four soil categories
2Know Decision No. 2106-N end to end: licence classes 1-3, specialist certificate categories 1-3, the 75% CPD credit condition for sitting the test, and the five-year certificate cycle
3Map the risk categories of Decision No. 596-N onto the expertise pathway — simple expertise for category III, state complex expertise for category IV, special complex expertise for category V
4Check every ՀՀՇՆ reference against the Committee's current list of normative technical documents; several building services norms have been renumbered since 2020
5Study the execution documentation chain: works logbook, hidden works acts, laboratory test protocols and as-built drawings all have to line up at commissioning

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format and duration of the Armenian urban development specialist test?

Under Annex 3 of RA Government Decision No. 2106-N, the software builds an individual test of 100 tasks for each candidate from the test base for the relevant profession, and 90 minutes are allowed to answer them. The test is taken on computers in a dedicated testing room, the session is video-recorded, and the test items are not published in advance.

What is the passing score for the Armenian urban development specialist test?

The minimum passing threshold is at least 75 correct answers out of the 100 test tasks. The system scores the paper automatically, the candidate sees the result immediately and can print the assessed version, and a pass is registered in the specialists' register straight away.

What official body administers the testing in Armenia?

Testing is organised at least once a year by a qualification commission created by the Urban Development Committee of the Republic of Armenia (ՀՀ քաղաքաշինության կոմիտե). The preparatory and administrative work is carried out by the organisation or educational institution selected under Article 11.3(5) of the Law On Urban Development, and a representative of the Committee is present as the person responsible for the test.

How long is the Armenian engineering qualification certificate valid?

The Continuous Professional Development (ՇՄԶ) qualification certificate is issued within three working days after passing the test and is valid for a period of 5 years.

Is this practice question bank an official exam translation?

No. The official test is administered in Armenian and its items are not published. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation built from the Armenian building norms and urban development legislation the test draws on; it is not an official translation, an item bank or a simulation of the real test.

Are official topic weightings published for the test?

No. Decision No. 2106-N requires only that the announcement of each sitting name the fields of the test tasks for the activity type concerned, and it expressly states that the test items are not subject to publication. The topic split shown here is this practice bank's own coverage, not an official blueprint.
