Indoor/ Outdoor Landscape Architect Schooling Training
To become an indoor/outdoor landscape architect you will need a lot of schooling and training. Architects can be in school for many years. Additionally, you will need to have an apprenticeship with a firm before you will be officially recognized as a full blown architect. The cost for a bachelor's in architecture will cost around $8 to $20 thousand a year. While you are in school it will be very helpful to look into a minor in horticulture. However, you might count on a full five years in school. To take the LEED exam can cost about $500. The exam is very difficult but well worth passing, as very soon the government will start requiring all new buildings to be LEED certified.
