This is what you need to know when you renew:
If your LCP license number is an even number, you ARE subject to audit in 2012 and again in 2014, etc. In 2012 you must have acquired on or before your license renewal date, 16 hours of continued education (CEH) with a minimum of 4 CEH in business, 8 CEH in technical and the remaining 4 CEH can be business, technical or other.
If your LCP license number is an odd number, your ARE NOT subject to audit in 2012. You will be subject to audit in 2013 and again in 2015, etc. In 2013 you must have acquired on or before your license renewal date, 16 hours of continued education (CEH) with a minimum of 4 CEH in business, 8 CEH in technical and the remaining 4 CEH can be business, technical or other.
CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES
Check the LCB website and see what courses have been approved for CEH. Many of the approved courses are ongoing, so contact the provider to see when the next scheduled course will be held. Note: all courses at accredited colleges are automatically preapproved though not listed.
If the course IS approved, then the course provider will issue you a certificate that states you attended and are granted a certain number of CEH. DO NOT send the certificate into the Board office unless you are audited (see below).
If you decide to attend a course that is NOT PREAPPROVED then you have 30 days after attending the course to submit the course approval form found on the website along with the course outline and documentation that verifies you actually attended the course. You will be notified whether or not it is approved.
Remember that volunteering on boards and commissions related to the landscape industry, volunteering for landscape related community projects and presenting courses also qualify for CEH if these events are preapproved through the board.
HOW DOES THE RENEWAL AND AUDIT WORK?
On or before your renewal date for your LCP license the board will send out your renewal form. You will lindicate on the form whether you have met the CEH requirements or not. Depending on your response, your license may be renewed. If you are selected to be part of the audit for the year, then you will receive written notification that you will need to submit verification of meeting the CEH requirement. AT THAT TIME submit certificates and other documentation that verifies your compliance with the CEH requirement. DO NOT send in any documentation until you are asked to do so. The board does not hold or save any documentation on your behalf.
If you do not meet the CEH requirement, you will be assessed a $200 civil penalty and your license will not be renewed until you are in compliance.
