New Continuing
Education Requirements
Following a nationally growing trend, the
Alabama Board of Landscape Architects has adopted a new policy affecting your
continuing education. Effective for the 2011 renewal period, you will be
required to have 16 hours of continuing education each year (an increase of one
hour). Half of those hours are now required to be related to maintaining or
improving the health, safety and welfare of the general public.
This means that during calendar year 2010, you’ll need to earn 8 hours of
continuing education relating to health, safety and welfare that will be applied
to your 2011 license. And remember, you can carry over hours earned after
October 15 to the following year if you have already fulfilled your CE
requirement prior to that date.
Examples of health, safety and welfare topics include, but are not limited to,
site design, environmental or land use analysis, life safety, landscape
architectural programming, site and soils analysis, accessibility, structural
systems considerations, lateral forces, building codes, storm water management,
playground safety, evaluation and selection of building systems, products or
materials, construction methods, contract documentation, construction
administration, and building design, etc.
Failure to include topics on health, safety and welfare in your continuing
education will result expiration of your State of Alabama Landscape Architect
license effective December 31. Please don’t let that happen. |
