CSLA to Offer Landscape Architectural Continuing Education System at 09 Congress
LA CES will establish, maintain, and enforce standards for evaluating professional development and continuing education programs for landscape architects. The intent of the program will be to assure landscape architects and licensing boards that courses provided by LA CES “approved providers” are of sufficient quality. The CSLA intends to have the CSLA’s 75th Anniversary Congress in 2009 identified as an “Approved Provider” so that conference sessions, where applicable, can be registered with LA CES in order for attending landscape architects to receive “professional development hours” for courses that qualify in order to satisfy the particular continuing education requirements of their respective state or provincial licensing boards. » Read more
