2025 Green Industry Training

Green Industry Training is a series of entry-level classes in topics important to the green industry that can also provide CEU's to current landscape professionals.

Participants can enroll in individual classes at a cost of $20 per class, or they can enroll in the entire course for a discounted price of $95. Enrolling 2-5 employees for the full course reduced the cost to $80 per student. The discount decreases to $70 per student when 6+ employees from the same firm are registered.

Fees include eventbrite, course materials, certificates of attendance, refreshments, and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper (QWEL), International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Arborist, and Nevada Pesticide Applicator. Course fees also support Green Industry Continuing Education Series classes, which are held year-round as needed.

Classes are taught by UNR Extension faculty, Nevada Department of Agriculture staff, and local industry professionals. Classes are held in person at the UNR Washoe County Extension at 4955 Energy Way in Reno, Nevada.
