What’s a micro-credential?

Micro-credentials indicate proficiency in a specific focused topic and often result in a digital badge, a  modern way to communicate skills and knowledge on digital media.

FANN’s Central Florida Classics micro-credential demonstrates that participants have gained identification, selection, use and maintenance knowledge for twenty native trees and palms. The twenty plants in focus include sixteen trees and four palms, as identified in the online study guide https://www.fannseminar.com/credential-study-guide/    

To obtain the micro-credential, applicants must:

  • Attend the FANN Native Plant Seminar (both days), participating in classes and an outdoor workshop with live plants.
  • Correctly identify 18 of the 20 plants in a timed online test
  • Correctly answer 80% of the questions dealing with selection, use and maintenance in a timed online test

Upon successful completion of the above requirements, participants will be granted a digital badge and, at their option, a frameable paper certificate, and be highlighted on FANN’s website and social media channels. The micro-credential is a $75 add-on during seminar registration – participants must register for both Wednesday and Thursday, and must participate in the workshop on Wednesday morning.

FANN has been the trusted industry source for native plants and native plant expertise since 1986. For the past few years, FANN has been working on developing micro-credentials that may eventually lead to a full FANN native plant professional credential that compliments existing industry certifications such as the Florida-Friendly Landscaping™ certification, FNGLA certified professional certification, ISA arborist certification and others.
