CEUs:  What are they?  
  • Continuing education units are required by many professions in order to ensure that members are keeping up with the latest information and techniques in their fields.  APLD encourages members to continue their education by requiring recertification every three years with at least 30 credit hours of continuing education.
     
  • CEUs must be geared toward the professional landscape designer, and may be acquired by attending APLD conferences, conferences sponsored by other horticultural or landscaping organizations, or events sponsored by educational institutions such as arboretums, botanical gardens, community colleges or universities
     
  • For more details about CEUs, APLD members should visit the Members Only section of the APLD website and login.
