Recertification

Recertification Requirements

Every two years, individuals holding Landscape Horticulture Certifications must renew their status by submitting proof of 24 continuing education units (CEUs). This demonstrates that certified professionals remain current with industry standards and advancements.

To renew, submit your recertification form, proof of CEUs earned, and payment of the $75 fee (plus HST).

Earning CEUs

CEUs can be earned through both education and service activities, such as:

• Attending seminars, workshops, or training sessions

• Volunteering for industry events or judging certification tests

• Speaking, writing, reading, or completing online learning related to
landscape horticulture

Forms are provided to record CEUs, and the recertification form lists full details on qualifying activities.

Maintaining Certification

CNLA tracks submissions to ensure that 24 CEUs are recorded every two years. Certifications that are not renewed within one year of the due date will lapse.

To reinstate a lapsed certification, individuals must pay the full exam registration fee and successfully retake the written component of the certification exam. The recertification date automatically resets when a certified member earns a new designation or technician module.
