The LIAF Certified Landscape Inspector’s Program requires Certified Inspectors obtain a minimum of twenty-four (24) CEUs during the three-year certification period, which runs from January 1 through December 31. (New certifications are valid from date of exam through December 31 of the third full year.) All twenty-four CEUs must be obtained within the certification period. CEUs are not retroactive, and cannot carry over to the next certification period. To maintain certification, an individual must remain a member in good standing, and will need to acquire all necessary CEUs before December 31st of the expiration year (by the expiration date on certificate).
The LIAF Certification Committee regularly reviews outside education and provides CEU sign-in sheets to any groups, meetings, courses and seminars that qualify as having acceptable content to apply towards certification. However, it is the member’s responsibility to obtain, accumulate, and track his or her CEUs before certification expires.
