You have until January 31, 2010 to renew without penalty ($150).
After that date, you’ll have until June 30, 2010 to renew your
license, if you pay a $50 penalty ($200). After June 30, you’ll
need to go through the application process again in order to be
licensed ($275).
Time to think ahead: Effective for the 2011 renewal period, you
will be required to have 16 hours of continuing education each
year (an increase of one hour). Eight 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 can be
applied to your 2011 license.

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. |
