It performs functions similar to those of SACAP, but with a specific focus on landscape professionals. Since November 2016, SACLAP no longer only registers landscape architectural professionals and candidates, but also landscape management professionals and candidates. The former registers individuals with qualifications and competencies in the field of landscape architecture, whereas the landscape management categories make provision to register individuals with qualifications and experience in either landscape construction or maintenance or both.
