Certification Program

Landscape Industry Certified is a broad but powerful distinction for individuals who have taken their experience, skills and desire for excellence to the next level by studying, testing and becoming certified. They stay on top of their game by maintaining their certification every two years through recertification. The International Certification Council administers the certification program for PLANET.

Several certifications are available leading to the Landscape Industry Certified Manager, Technician or a combination of Manager & Technician designations. Lawn and landscape professionals choose between the following:

Landscape contractor business owners or managers should consider the Manager (formerly CLP) designation.

Exterior technicians in softscape installation, hardscape installation, turf maintenance, ornamental maintenance or irrigation should consider the Technician - Exterior (formerly CLT-E) designation.

Interiorscape technicians should consider the Interior Technician (formerly CLT-I) designation.

Lawn care professionals wanting a well-rounded foundation in warm- and cool-season turfgrass establishment, growth, maintenance, troubleshooting, and customer relations should consider the Lawn Care Manager (formerly CTP) designation.

Lawn care practitioners looking to underscore their professionalism and commitment to best practices should consider the newest designation, Lawn Care Technician – National (new).
