California Landscape Contractor License School
According to the Los Angeles Times (online edition dated July 28 2006), the minimum educational requirement for the Class C-27 landscape contractor's license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) in California, is a high school diploma. However, there also is a work experience requirement of one to four years depending on your educational background. To minimize that work experience requirement, you can take a school associate's degree in horticulture or landscape planning and design. According to L.A. Times, that type of education can go towards 1½ years of credit towards the work experience requirement. There also is a need to pass the Law and Business examination and the trade specialty multiple-choice examination in landscaping. That information is from 2006. To find the current requirements, you can go to the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) web site, which provides a downloadable examination study guide with all the details, or contact the via other means: Contractors State License Board To get an associate degree in landscape, you can contact at least the following school: Pierce College |
