Smartscape en Español consists of eight classes plus a Resources & Marketing / review class and an exam session.

Smartscape is a training program specifically designed for landscape and irrigation industry professionals such as: installation and maintenance supervisors and crew members (as well as company owners and office staff involved in scheduling field staff or contracting), landscape architects and designers, nursery employees, and municipal employees (Parks & Rec, Water). We also encourage HOA committee members and property management personnel to attend. Smartscape is held twice a year, in the winter and in the summer.

Smartscape is a comprehensive, research‐based program that prepares students with essential skills for the basic design, installation, and maintenance of attractive, water-efficient landscapes that offer a unique sense of place and value to our communities. Smartscape delivers 20 hours of high-quality education on the best irrigation and horticultural practices appropriate for the Sonoran Desert environment. Students receive a Smartscape Study Guide with valuable information and materials, instruction from experts in the green industry, and the opportunity to earn International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD) continuing education units, and Arizona chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects (AzASLA) continuing education credits. Graduates of the course receive a certificate of completion from the University of Arizona and a chance to market themselves as a Smartscape professional by listing their contact information in the Smartscape Online Directory.

Completion of the Smartscape course is required in order to register for any Advanced courses.
