Green Industry Hub is the online source for obtaining certification in the landscape contracting industry. The CLP (Certified Landscape Professional) is the certification mark awarded by the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) and represents evidence of the industry's highest standards of landscape professionalism. Fewer than 1% of all landscape professionals have achieved this designation.

Why Earn Your Certification?

In a competitive marketplace, differentiation is key to success. Professional designations offer excellent opportunities to improve your skills and advance your career. To your customers, professional designations convey superior training, practical experience, and in-depth knowledge. These are key when contracts are being awarded or you are being hired for a new position in your career.

From a business and marketing standpoint, the advantages are clear: you acquire knowledge on a specific landscape skill that helps you gain an edge over others.

Pursuing your CLP at the Green Industry Hub is a convenient way to prepare for certification exams and deepen your knowledge of the industry. Imagine preparing for this exam from the comfort of your home or office, anytime, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year? No traveling to inconvenient regional sessions, no dreading the prospects of sitting in a classroom after a long work day.
