Certified
Help
Need
help with your garden and landscape projects? One of the most important
aspects to consider in getting ready to tackle your project is
knowing who to ask for help. How will you know he or she is a green
industry professional rather than someone with less knowledge?
Professional
certification is one of the most important steps an individual
can take to demonstrate
knowledge and commitment to his or her career. Certified
individuals are
able to stand "Out
In Front" as examples of excellence in the Green Industry.
Certification reflects achievement and establishes professional
credentials.
Ask
your local garden centers and landscapers if they employ
OCNT's and "Get to know a Green Industry Pro!" Click
here and use the ONLA Membership Directory to locate garden
centers and landscapers who employ OCNT's!

You
wouldn't expect someone without a medical degree to perform surgery.
It's not considered a good idea for someone without a law degree
to practice law. Expect your landscape contractor or garden center
to have certified personnel on staff.
The
Ohio Nursery & Landscape Association
is proud to offer the only all encompassing green industry certification
program in Ohio, the Ohio Certified Nursery Technician (OCNT)
program.
We, as an industry, believe that the OCNT program gives certified
individuals, as well as the companies that employ them, the opportunity
to increase knowledge and the ability to perform to set standards
while also enhancing the overall image of the Green Industry Profession.
