The next Certified Plant Professional (CPP) Exam will take place on Thursday, September 15th from 1:00-4:00 pm (the day before the annual Fall Tour), in Helena, MT, at Gardenwerks, 3225 Cooney Dr.
Eligible applicants need to apply online by following the link to register, or submit a
completed application, documentation of nursery employment and the appropriate fees
to the MNLA office by
September 9th
. Download the application form
here
.
The certification tests are generally given twice a year, in January at the annual
Montana Green Expo
and in September at the annual
Fall Tour
. The exam consists of a plant identification test and a written test. The exam is based on the
Certification Manual
and on practical information gained from employment in the industry, and on identification of the correct genus, species, common name, and cultivar (if appropriate) for each plant.
The ID portion of the exam involves identifying 50 plant samples, and is based upon plants covered in
Choosing Trees and Shrubs for Montana Landscapes
, by George Evans and Alan Epps, as well as lists of Montana perennials and woody plants. These publications and lists are included in the manual. The second portion of the exam is a 200 question written exam on the principles and practices of virtually all aspects of the nursery industry. A passing grade is 75% for both parts of the exam. Bring at least two sharpened pencils to take the exam. We also recommend that you bring several sheets of scratch paper.
Please see the
Education & Certification
page on our site for details on eligibility and renewal as well as a number of additional forms and how to order your CPP Manual (a highly recommended book for preparing for the exam). Manuals can be ordered by submitting an
order form
to the MNLA office before August 31st.
Good luck!
Thank you to Gardenwerks, for allowing us to use their facility for the Certified Plant Professional Exam!
