Welcome to TeachHort.com
TeachHort.com provides high school horticulture teachers with the tools to prepare their students for FNGLA’s Certified Horticulture Professional (FCHP) exam.
FNGLA has secured a grant from the U. S. Department of Agriculture to create this curriculum program that will not only assist teachers, but will introduce more of tomorrow’s future leaders to our industry.
For 2010, this grant provides financial assistance-- up to $1,000 per school-- for access to the TeachHort.com curriculum and FCHP certification.
The Florida Career and Professional Education (CAPE) Act was enacted into law in 2007. It requires public high schools to offer “rigorous and relevant” curriculum that leads to industry recognized certifications. Workforce Florida, Inc. and the Florida Department of Education have recognized the FCHP program as the horticulture certification that will comply with CAPE for Environmental Horticulture Science & Services.
