Certified Irrigation Contractor Program

SAN DIEGO, CA

In addition to attending the annual Irrigation Association Conference and Trade Show in San Diego, California, Landscape Contractors interested in irrigation certification may participate in the Certified Irrigation Contractor (CIC) program. The Irrigation Association Certification Board has established certification programs to achieve national recognition of Irrigation Specialists. Certification exams are designed to meet standards of validity, reliability and difficulty.

Certification indicates that the successful applicant has a minimum of three years of irrigation-related experience/education; successfully passed a written examination covering general irrigation subjects and specialty areas; and agreed to follow a specific code of ethics established by the certification board.

Irrigation Contractors are specialty contractors whose principal contracting business is the execution of contracts and subcontracts to install, repair and maintain irrigation systems in such a manner that projects can be executed in an acceptable way, meeting all specifications and requirements. They are involved in the layout, installation, maintenance and repair of irrigation systems used for landscape and turf irrigation.
