PLANET
international certification programs offered in Idaho...
In
the increasingly competitive marketplace, every marketing edge
is valuable. One of the most important marketing tools for landscape
contractors is certification. INLA has become Idaho’s administrator
for PLANET's international certification program.
The INLA is working with the ASLA and city Parks & Recreation
Departments, on specifications to include requiring a CLT designation
as a necessary qualification to bid on their projects.
This certification program promotes the growth and credibility
of the exterior landscape industry. It provides professional recognition
to individuals engaged in the business of landscape contracting.
