Landscape Design Career Training

Besides a formal education, most states require licensure or registration. To become licensed, designers must pass an exam, as well as have the appropriate career training and a few years' experience. To kickstart your landscape design career, consider beginning with a distance learning program. You'll pick up the basics without disrupting your life--and take your first steps towards a lucrative landscape design career.
