Friday, 27 January 2012

12 PDH (CEU's) of the required 24 PDH (CEU's) may be obtained via electronic media

Licenses expire May 31 of every odd-numbered year. Licensees are required to meet the Board's continuing education requirement as a condition for renewal of their licenses.

** PLEASE NOTE: Under the recently amended Law (Act 24 of 2009), All Licensees will be required to obtain 24 hours of continuing education, completed in accordance with the Board's regulations, beginning June 1, 2011 through May 31, 2013 as a condition of the renewal of their license for the 2013-2015 Biennial period.

** The State Board of Landscape Architects (Board) amends §15.12  of the Board's regulations (relating to fees).
