Due to the inclusion of proprietary technology platforms, this course series is ineligible for continuing education approval through the Landscape Architecture Continuing Education System (LA CES). 

This session will summarize the design, manufacturing, and installation process for welded stainless steel swimming pools, spas, and water features.

It will also explain the benefits of selecting this pre-fabricated system for elevated and rooftop installations such as reduced liability through watertightness, enhanced sustainability, and streamlined installation at the project site.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of course participants will be able to: 

1. Define 3 characteristics of stainless-steel that lead to its contribution to sustainability  
2. Describe why prefabricated aquatic systems streamline the on-site construction process 
3. List six benefits of using welded stainless-steel vessels for swimming pools, spas, and water features especially in elevated locations 

If you want to practice all the things you’re learning in school now, you need to be licensed!

In this session, get educated on all things licensure, including the three E’s—the requirements for Education, Examination and Experience needed to call yourself a landscape architect and provide landscape architectural services in all 50 states.

Representatives from the Council of Landscape Architectural Registration Boards (CLARB) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) will also breakdown the Landscape Architect Registration Examination (L.A.R.E.) and explore the bright career paths you’ll have access to as a licensed landscape architect in the private sector and with federal entities such as the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Professional licensing examination uses an industry standard known as High Level Testing. This is a method of testing that requires the application of knowledge rather than knowledge recall itself. It is the utilization of knowledge, in critical thinking situations, to resolve problems. This webinar adapts Bloom’s Taxonomy to outline the basic levels of comprehension that are necessary to utilize knowledge in the application of “skills and abilities” in Landscape Architecture.

CLARB, in creating the L.A.R.E., has adopted a taxonomy of measurable verbs to define the extent of the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are being tested. The L.A.R.E. is testing for what a “minimally competent landscape architect needs to know so as to protect public health, safety and welfare”. This is the basis of the licensure laws in the United States and Canada. It is to your advantage to recognize that the vast majority of exam items are written to specifically test for an application level of proficiency. Therefore, memory recall type items (e.g., Jeopardy) are only minimally addressed. These are often in the form of Multiple Choice items, which are being used to a lesser extent on the L.A.R.E..

On this basis, it stands to reason that you must prepare in a way that encourages critical thinking. You MUST be able to apply as well as analyze and evaluate relevant information if you are to successfully complete the exam.

Note: This webinar will run between 2 - 2.5 hours
