Curly,
 
The LATC has it’s own standards on eligibility to take the exam. You can get info off their web site.
 
The webinars are recorded. I think if you register as a pro member thru Land 8 you can view the webinar content at your leisure. Check with Andrew Spiering (the founder of the site) on procedures.

Hi. Just joined the discussion and the section D seminar.
(1) How do I check out the 1st part of section D that I missed 6 hours ago?
(2) I’ve passed sections A and B.  B on the first try and A on the second.  I was able to take them because I received an AA in Landscape Architecture from Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, NV in ’09.  …[Read more]

Hi all, 
 
I am retaking Section B in March and trying to focus on my weaknesses which from the diagnostic feedback seem to be the Inventory and Analysis Sections.
Would anyone have any recommendations of certain chapters to read through? (That would pertain to Inventory and Analysis) I have all the reference books for B.  I am afraid I will st…[Read more]

Please use the group forum to post questions, discussion topics, and to setup study groups, etc.
 
Thanks!

I like it a lot.  It takes you through the entire process.  the analysis, programming for the different types of designs, sustainability, grading, infrastructure, and restoring and preserving landscapes.
I’m glad I bought it, for the test and for after.

Jeffrey,
What do you think of the Russ Book?

Thanks Ray.  I am reading that book right now.  I also have Site Planning and Design Handbook by Thomas Russ

Site Analysis by James LaGro is an excellent book for B. Also, review the ASLA Code of Environmental Ethics.

Who has passed Sec. B, and what is your strategy?

I’m setting this discussion group up as an information exchange resource for people sitting for the exam. Perhaps it will be helpful in de-mystifying these sections for the users.
You can perhaps also use it to set up a long distance study group, find people local to you with whom to study, and ask questions of people knowledgeable about the…[Read more]

John, thanks for sharing.  Do you have any site photos, from these projects, that you’re able to post here?

If anybody here has done any public work involving raingardens in Florida let me know! Since I have been working for my firm here in Tampa we have completed 4 to 5 significant “raingarden” type projects; one of them being a LAP FDOT streetscape for Tarpon Springs. Public work involving stormwater management in a creative way is far and few…[Read more]

Hi all, I’m from Arizona in the United States and have enjoyed reading about the many new projects that have been featured in landscape architecture magazine.  It would be great to see what other projects have been designed and to hear from the design teams on how these projects were created.  What process was used in creating spaces, r…[Read more]

hi~`I come from Zhejiang province, I have been in Shenzhen 3years, Now I am working in Hangzhou,Welcome to Hangzhou~~

Christopher- The thing that stood out the most is your resume. Move your education down towards the bottom- below everything other than maybe affiliations. With it on top, above professional experience, you are making it look like it is more important than your actual work.

Mark, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to your old employer to ask for more samples. That employer could be very understanding of the circumstances “out there” and want to help you. – Who knows, maybe he will have just gotten a big job and will need to hire you back!
Good luck
