I agree that it can bring self pride and increase motivation. But what do these certifications really bring to the table with the public.
These are not recognized certificates by the public or the government. In fact a lot of landscapers havn't heard of it. Unless you belong to a landscape association it is unheard of. It is not like being a electrician where you need this certification to legally paid to do the work.
Out of 22 job listings on the site that promotes this certification only one company mention CHT certification and they only listed it as an "asset" (this was a sponser of the program)
So what does this certification bring to the table other than a minimal set of skills? Because what i have seen of the requirements it is pretty minimal.
