CLT stands for Certified Landscape Technician. Certification is a hands-on testing program
administered by 20 states and provinces 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.

ALCC has joined forces with the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) to offer five CLT tests
in Softscape Installation, Hardscape Installation, Turf Maintenance, Ornamental Maintenance and
Irrigation. To become a Certified Landscape Technician, an applicant must pass a General
Comprehension test, Core test and Practical (hands-on) Problems.

Successful completion of the Hardscape and/or Softscape Installation test demonstrates that an
individual has the skills to take a landscape blueprint and implement the design in the field.
Passing the Maintenance (Turf Maintenance and/or Ornamental Maintenance) test shows that a
person has the skills to maintain a landscape project in a professional manner. Passing the
Irrigation test demonstrates that a person has the skills to install and maintain an irrigation system
and understands the fundamentals of water management.
