Continuing Education
Licensed Landscape Architects in the State of Connecticut are required to
participate in continuing education programs in order to maintain licensure,
as established by Public Act 97-174. This page is intended to provide our
members with background information about continuing education requirements.
Regulations require each licensed landscape architect to obtain 24
continuing education units (CEUs) within each two-year period. Six of these
24 continuing education units shall be earned by attendance at live
presentations. One continuing education unit is the equivalent of one
contact hour (50 minutes of instruction) of technical presentation
acceptable to the Board of Landscape Architects. In addition, each one-hour
lecture given by a licensee may count as six contact hours. As a guideline,
the Board will generally deem acceptable presentations on any technical
aspect of the profession (not office management or business development)
that relates to the general health, safety and welfare of the public.
It is the obligation of licensees to maintain a record of their
participation in continuing education programs. CTASLA neither endorses nor
approves programs with regards to their satisfaction of the continuing
education requirements for licensure. Similarly, the Board does not
pre-approve educational programs, except for "self-guided" courses or
individual research.
Please see the related
correspondence from the Department of Consumer Protection for a list of
approved subject material and more detailed information about CEU
requirements. Questions should be directed to the Connecticut Dept. of
Consumer Protection, Board of Landscape Architects at (860) 713-6145.
For a current listing of educational programs offered by CTASLA and select
other organizations that may qualify for continuing education credits,
please see our Calendar.
