Program Description
The Landscape Technology program provides four years of related and supplemental training for apprentices. The courses offered cover a wide variety of materials and curricula to meet the day-to-day needs of a journeyman. This includes plumbing and pipefitting, basic electrical and low voltage, plant selection and watering, and knowledge of pesticides and control methods. The College provides classroom-related and supplemental instruction for apprenticeship programs. Classes are held in the days, evenings, and Saturdays, depending on the program.
