Certified Turf Specialist
There is an industry
benchmark for professionalism you can count on – a way to
separate a mere vendor from a valued business partner, and a
salesperson from a true resource.
 This
mark of excellence is called the Certified Turf Specialist, or
CTS designation, and it is a trademark of true professionalism.
The standards developed to achieve the designation of CTS were
exclusively created for turf and landscape supply marketers in
the FS System of Agronomy Supply.
- All CTS testing
guidelines and procedures are accredited by respected turf
experts, recognized throughout the industry for their
extensive knowledge of turf biology and agronomics.
- Approved by Tom Voigt
and Roscoe Randall of the University of Illinois, CTS
testing is offered exclusively through and created for the
FS Agronomy System, a leading agriculture supply
organization for over 75 years.
Earning the Certified Turf
Specialist designation begins with extensive education and
training. All CTS’s must learn and demonstrate comprehensive
biological and agronomic understanding of turf varieties, its
maintenance needs, and all aspects of turf performance.
To maintain professional certification, individuals earning
their initial CTS are required to complete scheduled retests and
attend annual industry training and seminars on the latest turf
and landscape products and maintenance methods. Your CTS
regularly attends numerous seed demonstration tours, product and
equipment shows, and technique workshops to remain up-to-date on
the latest technology, methodology and equipment.
