In-Depth Information
The questions and subject matter contained in the LARE test are
selected to evaluate whether or not the candidate has the minimum
level of knowledge, experience, and competency to prepare designs that
protect the health, welfare, and safety of the public. This means that the
successful candidate has the knowledge necessary to create designs that
will not cause harm to individuals or the public. The LARE tests the can-
didate's knowledge of pertinent design standards, zoning and land uti-
lization requirements such as structure setbacks, vehicular circulation
requirements, national and state mobility standards (ADA), and other
areas of knowledge considered standards of professional care. In other
words, there is a body of knowledge including rules and design stan-
dards that every professional landscape architect must know, and must
know how to apply when he or she prepares designs. The initial body of
knowledge is learned in school in such courses as grading, design, and
professional practice. A substantial amount of additional information is
learned during the internship and pre-licensure phase of one's profes-
sional development and career. The necessary information is learned
from teachers, professional mentors, and continuing education, and
from experience working for and with others.
