Examinations. (Effective until July 1,
2010.)
Examinations of applicants for certificates of
registration shall be held at least annually or at such times and
places as the board may determine. The board shall determine
from the examination and the material submitted with the
applications whether or not the applicants possess sufficient
knowledge, ability and moral fitness to safely and properly
practice landscape architecture and to hold themselves out to the
public as persons qualified for that practice.
The scope of the examination and methods of examination
procedure shall be prescribed by the board with special reference
to landscape construction materials and methods, grading and
drainage, plant materials suited for use in the northwest,
specifications and supervisory practice, history and theory of
landscape architecture relative to landscape architectural
design, site planning and land design, subdivision, urban design,
and a practical knowledge of botany, horticulture and similar
subjects related to the practice of landscape architecture. The
board may adopt an appropriate national examination and grading
procedure.
Applicants who fail to pass sections of the examination
shall be permitted to retake the examination in the sections
failed. A passing grade in a section shall exempt the applicant
from examination in that subject for five years. The board may
determine the standard for passing grades computed on a scale of
one hundred percent. A certificate of registration shall be
granted by the director to all qualified applicants who shall be
certified by the board as having passed the required examination
and as having given satisfactory proof of completion of the
required experience.
