January 14-15, 2019

InVigorateU is an annual education event geared toward those looking not only for continuing education credits, but also for practical and productive learning in an efficient yet robust “let’s get to work” environment. 

Continuing Education Credits

This is a great way for landscape architects, arborists, irrigation contractors, Illinois Certified Nursery Professionals, and NALP certified professionals to get a good portion of their CEUs taken care of! 

Landscape Architects	Irrigation Contractors	Illinois Certified Nursery Professional    (ICN Pro)	NALP Landscape Industry Certified Professionals	Certified Arborists
	Attending one 4-hour course fulfills the  mandatory annual requirement mandated by Illinois Plumbing License Law. If your business still needs the initial 16-hour course to  get certified, IDPH has approved taking all four courses combined to serve as your mandatory initial 16-hour course.
