What is Certification?

APLD’s certification program confers professional recognition to landscape designers based on established standards of excellence. Currently, 20 percent of APLD members are certified. Certification is available for Professional members in good standing who have been practicing landscape design for a minimum of four years. It is the only landscape design certification program in the United States.

The certification review process evaluates a candidate’s submitted work, consisting of three installed projects. To maintain certification, Certified Professional Members must continue to develop their skills by completing approved continuing education credits (CEUs).
