LHCP Recertification

Every two years, individuals holding Landscape Horticulture Certifications are required to renew their status by submitting proof of 24 continuing education units (CEUs) earned, demonstrating that they have kept current with industry advancements. They are required to complete and return their recertification form, along with proof of CEUs earned and payment of a $75 fee plus HST.

CEUs are earned from education and service activities, such as attending seminars or workshops, volunteering for industry events and judging during certification tests. Speaking, writing, reading, and online learning about landscape horticulture-related materials are counted, and forms are provided to record these CEUs. More details about activities that qualify for CEUs are listed on the recertification form.

CNLA records and tracks to ensure a total of 24 CEUs are submitted every 2 years—certifications lapse if not renewed more than one year past the recertification due date. To reinstate a lapsed certification, you are required to pay the full exam registration fee, retake and pass only the written component of the certification exam.

The recertification date resets for certified members who earn a new designation or technician module.
