About Certification

Certification programs from the American Society of Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America are the benchmark of professionalism. The purpose of a certification program is to protect the public and the profession. They are voluntary professional enhancements to a person's career credentials. Once certified you are telling your clients, employer, and the public that you are serious about what you do as a professional.

Who should be certified?

Any adviser/consultant that spends the majority of their time advising growers on agronomic practices and can meet the standards of the program.

Certification: the standard by which professionals are judged. Farmers and employers prefer to work with Certified Crop Advisers (CCA) because CCAs have demonstrated they have the commitment, education, expertise, and experience to make a difference.

Being certified adds credibility and shows that you are serious about what you do. When you become certified, you join more than 13,000 of your peers in the largest, most recognized agriculturally oriented certification program in North America. This program’s professional standards are widely respected by industry, academia, and government and are referenced in statutes.
