PROGRAM

The Landscape Technician Certificate program is designed as one rung in a career ladder. Students gain skills equipping them to work in a variety of landscape professions. Since a core component of the courses is also required for other SRJC horticulture certificate programs, students may earn the Landscape Management or the Nursery Management Career Certificate by completing additional courses.

The program emphasizes hands-on learning and most courses incorporate lab activities that apply knowledge and skills in realistic settings. The program is actively supported by the local horticulture industry. The Landscape Technician Certificate will be awarded upon fulfillment of the 16.5 units of requirements with a "C" grade or better.

DATE

The requirements for this certificate are effective beginning the semester shown below.
