Georgia
The School of Environmental Design in conjunction with the Georgia Chapter ASLA, offer two review courses each year for practicing professionals preparing to sit for the national Landscape Architecture Registration Exam (LARE). Each of the two review courses are structured differently as outlined below.

Fall 2008 LARE Review Session (November 7th and 8th, 2008)
The fall review session only covers the (2) graphic vignette sections (C & E) of the LARE exam as well as the State of Georgia Component. This review is intended for practicing professionals who are looking for supplemental instruction towards passing the graphic vignette sections of the LARE. Attendees will receive nearly 8 hours of instruction for each of the vignette sections instead of the 4 hours allocated to each vignette section during the spring review. The fall review is typically held in Caldwell Hall in October or November and lasts for two days. Registration begins in August 2007.

Spring 2009 LARE Review Session (February 26th, 27th, and 28th, 2009)
The spring review session covers all five LARE sections as well as the State of Georgia Component. The spring review is geared towards practicing professionals who are preparing to take the exam for the first time or individuals who need additional assistance in preparing for particular LARE sections. The review is typically held in February at The Georgia Center for Continuing Education in Athens, Georgia and lasts for three full days. Registration begins in December 2008.

Please note that attendance at each review session is limited. All seats at the review are distributed on a first come first serve basis. Early registration is recommended.
