Professional Lands Management Certification Program (PLMCP)

To implement the Reserve Land and Environment Management Program (RLEMP), NALMA, in collaboration with Indigenous Services Canada (formerly INAC) and subject matter experts, developed the Professional Lands Management Certification Program.

The PLMCP signifies that a Land Manager meets specific criteria, keeps current in the field, and adheres to a professional Code of Ethics. It represents both an achievement and a responsibility for the individual Land Manager. The PLMCP is a nationally recognized certification awarded upon successful completion of the program.

A Land Manager successfully completing Level I: Post-Secondary Training and Level II: Technical Training will receive PLMCP certificate from NALMA.
