NCNLP Continuing Education Hours for 2023 Renewal

A reminder the NCNLP certification renewals will be emailed December 1st, with payment and continuing education documentation due to the NNLA office by December 31. All Nebraska Certified Nursery and Landscape Professionals (NCNLPs) are required to attend 5.0 hours of continuing education in the calendar year 2022 to maintaining certification. Courses, outside of those hosted by NNLA, will need to be reviewed by the NCNLP Committee or NNLA Board of Directors.

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

NNLA Policy on Certification, Maintaining CertificationCertification 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, NCNLPs 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 NCNLP webpage at http://nnla.org/certification/ as they are approved. If your course is already listed, you do not have to submit for approval. Events outside of NNLA, are also posted on the nnla.org/event page.
