| The major duty areas of the Education Committee are to promote professional development and organize and monitor the Institute’s Professional Practice Examination, including establishing and processing examination entry requirements and procedures. The Committee also advises the Council on academic qualifications required to the various membership categories of the Institute. |
Continuing Professional Development
The need for landscape architects to broaden and deepen their knowledge and skills as members of the profession is an accepted requirement. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) should be a normal part of the professional culture of all landscape architects irrespective of their level and area of practice. A major objective of the HKILA is to encourage all members to implement and maintain a Personal CPD Plan that provides a balanced development of professional knowledge and skills. This policy is, therefore, of universal relevance to all members of the HKILA.
CPD shall be "the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout the landscape architect's working life." Relevant CPD activities organized by the HKILA and other organizations will be announced from time to time.

Professional Practice Examination
The Professional Practice Examination (PPE) is an effective and important tool by which the Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects measures an individual’s understanding of all aspects considered to be essential and desirable for the rational, executive practice of Landscape Architecture before deciding on an applicant’s election to Professional Membership of the HKILA. The PPE has become the principal means of controlling and developing the standards of the profession in practice in Hong Kong, thus ensuring the continued recognition of the HKILA as a Professional Institute of international repute.
The HKILA PPE is held once a year and composed of two distinct parts, i.e. a written test and an oral test. A pass in the written test is a pre-requisite for a candidate to proceed to the oral test. Before being allowed to take the PPE, prospective candidates are required to be Associate Members (formerly Graduate Members) for at least 12 months and to obtain the prescribed period of professional practice experience by the 15th of September of the year taking the examination. The closing date for registration for the PPE will be 30 September of the year taking the examination. Prospective candidates should obtain the registration package, in writing, from the Education Committee.

HKILA Site Walk 2016
An one-day trip to two projects, which have received the HKILA Design Award 2014, was conducted on 25 June 2016. The tour included visiting the Maggies Cancer Caring Centre and Wo Hop Shek Crematorium.
Landscape Architecture: In Sickness and in Health 9am to 12 noon
The morning session was a jointly-organized event of Hong Kong Institute of Landscape Architects, Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre & Hong Kong Government Landscape Architects Association. As part of the Jockey Club Emotional and Psychosocial Support Programme, this was a follow up session of the Master Lecture Series - “Can Architecture Affect Your Health?”, this talk investigated the impact of landscape architecture to patients and general public. Valuable feedback from the users helped prioritize design considerations for landscape practitioners. We have invited Mr. ALEXANDER DUGGIE, our fellow member, together with Ms. HELEN NG from Ronald Lu & Partners as the guest speakers to give our members a tour and explain about both architectural and landscape design concept of the Maggie's Cancer Caring Centre and how the outdoor and indoor space interact with each other.
Landscape Architecture: Til Death Do Us Part? 2pm to 4pm
The afternoon session was a visit to an award winning project- Wo Hop Shek Crematorium. With fully integrated landscape design, this is an architecture for the deceased that asks for spiritual and symbolic meanings and takes the feelings of the grieving families as first priority. To create such a place of dignity and peace, every step of the funeral process had been thoroughly considered and was revealed in the contemporary design. This project has been receiving local and international awards. Recently, it has won Architizer A+ Awards 2016 – Popular choice Winner in the Institutional: Government & Municipal Buildings category.

Land Supply Forum
The Land Supply Forum, organized by the Development Bureau and co-organized by the 5 professional institutes including HKIA, HKIE, HKILA, HKIP and HKIS, was conducted on 17 Oct. 2015 (Sat). Mr. CHAN Mo-po, Secretary for Development, delivered the opening and closing remarks, and Mr. Joseph TSE Chi-fung was the host of the Forum.
The Forum consisted of 2 sessions of discussion, namely, Session I: The Challenge - Demand for Lands and Session II: The Solution - Supply of Lands. Keynote speakers from 2 professional institutes (HKIS and HKIP) and 3 discussants spoke in Session I. HKIP had highlighted their particular concern on developments in the country park and green belt areas. Keynote speakers from 4 professional institutes (HKIA, HKIS, HKIE and HKILA) and one discussant spoke in Session II. Ms. Iris HOI, representative of HKILA, highlighted the necessity to build up a landscape value data bank for formulating a holistic land use strategy. She emphasized that land supply was not unlimited unlike flour. Rather than only focusing on the supply side, she also suggested the Government should optimize and implement proper land use.

Planting is one of the fundamental arts and sciences of landscape architecture, and in many ways has come to define and identify the discipline. Landscape architects need to be knowledgeable and skilled in the design, implementation and management of planting, in different contexts and environments.
This issue of Yuan Lin has been dedicated to planting. A wonderfully diverse collection of reviews, articles and academic papers, collectively explore the different forms, scales, and contexts of Hong Kong’s urban planting.
