NCN Continuing Education Hours Update for 2021 Renewal

The NNLA Board of Directors approved at their last meeting to allow online courses attended by Nebraska Certified Nurseryman (NCNs) in 2020 to count towards the 5.0 CE hour requirement for maintaining certification. Online courses, outside of those hosted by NNLA, will need to be reviewed by the NCN Committee or NNLA Board of Directors.

NNLA Policy on Certification, Maintaining Certification

Certification lasts for one year. Continuing education (CE) must be completed each year. The current requirement is the certified individual must attend five (5) hours of continuing education in the horticulture field at a state, regional or national event(s) each year. The Certification Committee reviews the list of events and evaluates potential events for inclusion on a case to case basis.

To request a review of a course, NCNs should send an email to the NNLA office (jennifer@youraam.com) with any supporting documentation (agenda, session descriptions, etc.) to be reviewed. Courses will be posted on the NCN webpage at http://nnla.org/certification/ as they are approved. If your course is already listed, you do not have to submit for approval.

NCNs are responsible for tracking their continuing education hours and submitting documentation of those hours to the NNLA office with their renewal.
