LI Competency Framework

As the professional body for the landscape sector, it is the Landscape Institute’s role to continually reflect the changing needs of landscape practitioners, helping them remain trusted, relevant and successful, today and in the future.

The LI competency framework has been designed to demonstrate and articulate the requisite knowledge and skills of a landscape professional at various levels of proficiency and experience. The framework underpins the various routes to membership which offer a home for landscape practitioners across a wide range of fields of practice, from landscape designers to parks managers, and are the standards that enable the sector to be at the forefront of the fight against climate change and guardians of the natural and built environment.

Encompassing professional competencies, core landscape competencies, and additional landscape competencies, the competency framework is flexible, adaptable and designed to support landscape professionals as they progress in their career.

Download the competency framework here and find out what it means for you and your LI membership here.

Be part of our experienced route to Chartership or our expert route to Fellowship.
