Certified Nursery Professional
The Certified Nursery Professional (CNP) program is the nursery and garden industry’s professional recognition scheme for individuals.
Acknowledging members for their skill
and knowledge along with their ongoing
commitment in these areas. The program
showcases the expertise and dedication of
the CNPs to a public and industry audience.
The program provides the public with the assurance that CNPs have the knowledge and skills to provide superior services, and in this way, the program simultaneously raises the image and the profile of CNPs, the business for which they work and the Nursery and Garden Industry as a whole.
Most businesses consider skilled and knowledgeable staff to be their most valuable asset. By encouraging staff to participate in the CNP program, businesses demonstrate their commitment to staff development and reap the benefits of staff that are more knowledgeable, enthusiastic and loyal with an enriched personal working experience.
Why does the Nursery & Garden Industry need a CNP Program?
- It is vitally important that consumers are made aware that there are educated, experienced professionals with extensive knowledge and expertise working within the nursery and garden industry
- In an ever changing, competitive and often demanding environment, the industry needs to ensure that its personnel are kept up-to-date in their skills and knowledge.
- It is important for industry personnel to have available to them a formal program recognising the expertise gained from years of hard work within the industry, their professional skills and qualifications.
