I still have the preparatory materials that I made available in April (see below). Even though the test is changing formats, this material is still sold through the PPI website – don’t be fooled by the new packaging…it’s the same thing and they haven’t yet figured out how to adapt to the new format (see here for a direct comparison of the r…[Read more]

I live in Upper Marlboro, MD, and am preparing for Sections 3 & 4 in December. Any DC/Baltimore/NoVa candidates doing the same? I’ve got all my study books and old vignettes, but it could be nice to know others in the same boat.

PPI – LARE Complete Review Package Sections A-E. This package is as ordered directly from PPI and includes all of the materials listed on their website (click here to see what is included). They are virtually unmarked as I worked on copies instead of the originals. This package originally sells for $335, but I’m asking $300. A discounte…[Read more]

Anyone living in Southern California taking LARE Sections C or E in June? I’ve taken & passed sections A, B, & D. Now its time to tackle C & E. I’m in the process of gathering info & looking for study partners. Give me a shout if you’re interested in comparing notes.

Does anyone have a good source for cost information on the difference between a regular streetscape and one that incorporates bioretention? Thanks

I am interested in some LID continuing education resources (books, classes, conferences, etc). Any recommendations?

Watermouse, some new material on stormwater, and a refresher never hurts! Good luck on passing this time. Sent you a private reply also.

Sherry Alexander posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 12 years, 10 months ago

Did you already pass Section C and E?

hi Stephanie,
For section D, are there any new materials. I’ve taken the class 5 years ago. I really need to pass before the new change.

Anyone, want to have study group strictly for D? I’m in Orange County, CA or we can just do emailing to share study materials. Thanks

Actually, I did those relatively new to the profession a bit of a service by pointing out to them one far more affordable and easily accessible alternative than the costly online option your self-promoting here.
I have no qualms with the value and utility of your online course, I just find the asking price, far too steep and so would most…[Read more]

Sami,
I’d recommend using ‘landscape designer’ (I’ve seen this most often) or maybe even ‘recent landscape architect graduate’. If you use ‘landscape architect in-training’ check w/your state registration board to make sure that there aren’t any ‘conflicts’.
As far as looking for jobs: the ones that generally apply to college grads would be ‘…[Read more]

Hey Page:

You need to really get a clue here. It appears your somewhat disconnected from the true reality of the marketplace. Let me be specific, in case you can’t be.
There is massive unemployment in the design professions and thast has been pervasive going on nearly three years. You are offering a “sure-fire” or “near-fire” portfolio and…[Read more]

Sami,
One of my recent students listed their current job as “landscape architect in training” to avoid this snafu.
I would suggest visiting the ASLA job board to see how others with your level of experience are handling it. Here are some samples of student portfolio websites that include resumes for other ideas on wording and layout: Samples r…[Read more]

Sami Bronowski posted an update in the group Portfolios and Resumes – Design Strategies 12 years, 10 months ago

I have a quick question about resumes. I will be graduating this coming May will my BLA. I am in the process of cleaning up my resume and cover letter. In looking for jobs to apply for, I always search landscape architecture, since that is my specific degree. I am not yet, however, a registered landscape architect since I am entry level.
