Professional Development Programs

As you may know, the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA) Certification Committee has worked tirelessly to align industry certification programs with national standards and give them more credibility both within and outside of our industry. As a result of these efforts, I�m pleased to announce that all certified individuals will proudly call themselves Landscape Industry Certified, beginning January 2010!

Continuing Education

CNLA and its provincial partners offer a wide variety of education programs ranging from the technical to motivational. Many of these education programs directly support the CNLA certification programs, but are also excellent stand-alone learning tools.
