APLD
Oregon Certification Workshops for 2008

The Association of Professional Landscape Designers offers a national certification program that provides professional recognition to landscape designers, based on established standards of excellence. Certification is available for Associate APLD members in good standing, who have been practicing landscape design for a minimum of four years. The APLD® Certification Review Panel convenes four times each year to review applications. For the current review schedule, applications are due the first of the months of January, March, August, or November.

APLD Oregon will offer 3 workshops in 2008 to answer your questions on APLD certification:

  • Feb. 11th, Monday (Layton's)

  • July 8th, Tuesday (Hilty's)

  • Nov. 19th, Wednesday (Layton's)

  • All workshops  are from 9:30-11:30am

If there is enough interest in Bend, Eugene or other areas of the state, a certification workshop could be arranged.  Please contact Barb Hilty.

  • Certification workshops are open to landscape designers getting ready for APLD certification. These are informal workshops designed to answer your questions, so come with plans in hand. Everyone is welcome... whether you are just thinking of getting certified or you have everything ready and just want a final critique before sending your submission in.

  • Note:
    Please bring questions and a set of plans, or a partial submittal or a completed one!

For further questions or to rsvp for your attendance at a workshop, please contact Barb Hilty  or Libbi Layton. 

Please see the APLD website for additional certification information.

CEUs:

What are they?  

  • Continuing education units are required by many professions in order to ensure that members are keeping up with the latest information and techniques in their fields.  APLD encourages members to continue their education by requiring recertification every three years with at least 30 credit hours of continuing education.
     
  • CEUs must be geared toward the professional landscape designer, and may be acquired by attending APLD conferences, conferences sponsored by other horticultural or landscaping organizations, or events sponsored by educational institutions such as arboretums, botanical gardens, community colleges or universities
     
  • For more details about CEUs, APLD members should visit the Members Only section of the APLD website and login.
