Hi Everyone,
I’m pleased to share an update on the GGIA Junior Certified Plant Professional (GJCPP) and the End-of-Pathway Assessment (EOPA) for horticulture students.
The December 2025 testing cycle was a great success, and we are grateful to the teachers and students who participated in the first year of implementation. We appreciate your engagement as we continue to strengthen this long-standing, industry-recognized credential that prepares students for careers in Georgia’s green industry.
The Study Guide and Plant Identification List are now available on the GGIA website to support your classroom preparation and student review.
Spring 2026 Testing Information

Additional testing sites may be added in multiple regions based on registration numbers.
