The ABCs of CEUs

Board of Landscape Architecture in Florida (BOLA) is responsible for licensing and regulating landscape architects. Individuals or companies that would like to offer continuing education courses to licensed landscape architects need to become a provider and obtain board approval (other requirements are listed on Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s website - DBPR). Once an approved provider, they can then submit their course(s) for approval. Once approved, they will receive a course number(s) and can then offer them to landscape architects.
LA CES is an accrediting entity that approves providers and courses for landscape architects. The Board of Landscape Architecture in Florida does not recognize LA CES at this time because LA CES is not a provider with the state and therefore cannot submit credits to the Board (there is no self-reporting).
ASLA is a provider with the state and will turn in all the courses offered at the national meeting so that Florida license holders can receive credit.
Many national conferences/seminars/webinars that are LA CES approved are more than likely not a provider in Florida. If they do not indicate it on their marketing material you need to ask!
FLASLA is a provider with the state and sees the benefit of LA CES courses to Florida landscape architects. FLASLA has been in conversation with BOLA regarding this and can use your help! Please write to the board and let them know that you want to be able to receive credit for LA CES courses that are being offered nationally.
