Fall 2022 CCNP Exam - Denver

CNGA’s Colorado Certified Nursery Professional (CCNP) program promotes high quality standards and professionalism for the Colorado nursery industry. Managing or working in a nursery requires an in-depth knowledge of plant identification, physiology, soil, pruning and other nursery growing elements. To obtain certification, applicants must pass a 3-part exam that includes a multiple choice/true false section, a plant identification section and a landscape design section. Each section must receive a grade of 75% or better to pass the exam and receive certification. 

To sit for the exam, you must register (fee required) and complete an exam application that documents at least 2,000 hours of verifiable employment with a Colorado registered greenhouse, garden center, contractor or an allied industry.
