Through PLANET, Professional Landcare Network, the Landscape Industry Certified Technician program produces nationally certified employees who have passed rigorous written and hands-on tests in their specialty area. Certification is administered by 26 states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada that recognizes proficiency in the landscape workforce, upgrades the status of the landscape professional, and provides the public with a means of identifying qualified landscape professionals.
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. Candidates must pass a written exam in addition to a hands-on, skills demonstration test performed at a test site that approximates real‐life scenarios. The candidate selects a specialty area and is judged on work methods, adherence to best practices, and safety ideals.
We are proud to announce that Eduardo Tapia, RYCO’s Construction Superintendent, is now a Landscape Industry Certified Technician.
