Can you call yourself a landscape architect if you're not a MLI?

[j_s]

I overheard someone the other day saying he was a landscape architect (not down the pub, but to 2 HSE officers) even though there is no way he's a chartered landscape architect, he didn't even know what MLI meant (Member of the Landscape Institute). How do people get away with talking such bull? He's just landed himself a job as a landscape manager as well.

So to clarify....did he said he was a landscape architect, or a chartered landscape architect? i cant see what the issue is if he said the former:confused1:

Well, I suppose technically it's not illegal, but I expect a chartered landscape architect wouldn't be happy. The man mistook common norfolk reeds for purple melic grass!!!

sorry, i dont see the issue if he hasnt called himself 'chartered'

Hang him!!!

 

I'm with Steve on this - if he's working as a landscape architect, no matter what his quals are, then surely he's entitled to say as much? If he didn't claim to be chartered then I can't see that there's any problem. If the other persons in the conversation assumed he's chartered then it's their mistake.

I'm not convinced on this one. I thought you could call yourself a landscape designer but no a landscape architect. A landscape architect (as an architect) is by qualification.
