The Common Training Framework consists of three parts. Firstly, an Explanatory Memorandum that presents the background and the importance of landscape architecture, the new definition of the profession, the demography of the profession and development of landscape architecture education. Secondly the Recitals that presents the European legislation and regulation for professional qualification, national regulation, the collaborative process with the main landscape architecture organisations in Europe, the communication with DG GROW and relevance of regulation on an EU level. This is followed by the core of the Common Training Framework that defines the tasks of landscape architects and set standards for professional academic qualification. The CTF contains articles on postgraduate traineeship, national registration, continuous professional development, and compliance with a code of professional standards and ethics. The Annex of the CTF gives more detailed guidance. There are two supplementary issues: a poster and a brochure with the main content of the CTF for landscape architecture. The report can be downloaded here.
