Landscape professionals: Add Florida-Friendly credentials to your resume and be listed in the State's public directory of FFLCPs! This is a statewide certification; professionals from any county are welcome. What's a Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ Certified Professional (FFLCP)? Individuals who have completed training in FFL principles and are familiar with the latest UF/IFAS recommendations. These trained professionals have demonstrated the ability to recognize and address common landscape issues by using environmentally sustainable landscape management practices that help preserve and protect Florida’s water and natural resources. FFLCP candidates must complete prerequisite online courses (see here: https://ffl.ifas.ufl.edu/ffl-and-you/ffl-professional-certification/getting-certified/ ), participate in a field module with exam, and agree to the code of ethics. The 3- to 4-hour FFLCP Field Module consists of both classroom and field training, and an exam. The classroom portion of the day reviews FFL principles and topics covered in the online prerequisite courses. The field training includes a site visit to review site conditions, identify what is or is not Florida-Friendly, identify invasive plants and weeds, and discuss recommended management practices. Please complete the prerequisite online courses BEFORE attending the Field Module. To learn more, visit the FFLCP website: https://ffl.ifas.ufl.edu/ffl-and-you/ffl-professional-certification/.
