National Certification
Gives You The Edge!
Certified Landscape Technician Program
Certification is an important part of
any landscape company. That’s why the Certified Landscape
Technician (CLT) program deserves your attention. A Certified
Landscape Technician is a landscape professional who has been
certified through a national “hands-on” testing program
developed by the Associated Landscape Contractors of America
(ALCA) and licensed to state organizations. The ONLA has teamed
with the Ohio Landscapers Association (OLA) and the Ohio State
University's Agricultural Technical Institute (ATI) to bring
this program to Ohio.
Landscape contractor supervisors, foremen,
and field technicians who are certified as CLTs are recognized
as qualified professionals. This can mean better wages and enhanced
profits as the public becomes more aware of the meaning of doing
business with a certified professional. National certification
gives companies a way of meeting increased consumer demand for
professional landscaping.
The program sponsored by Ohio includes
a “Common Elements” component, which is general in
nature, and three specializations. In order to become a CLT,
an individual must pass the “Common Elements” component
and one or more of the three specializations.
