Certified Landscape Technician—Exterior CLT-E Certifying Agency Link |
||
The certification test for exterior landscape technicians is a two day event. The majority of the test is hands-on and performed in the field but there are some written problems. The applicant selects a specialty area (installation, maintenance, or irrigation) to augment the Common Core material. Each problem has a time limit set for its completion. The candidate is judged on several criteria. Not only must the work be performed according to accepted industry standards, but there is a strong emphasis on workplace safety. A candidate can fail any portion of an otherwise perfect test if he exhibits unsafe work practices. Every problem must be passed to earn the Certified Landscape Technician designation. Candidates may test at any state's test. Observers attend each test to assure the program is administered consistently across North America. |
