Certified Irrigation Professionals

Certified Irrigation Professionals are people who are certified in IAL's Certification Program in one or more of the seven areas of certification.

The IAL is working towards a future for irrigation in Australia where all irrigation systems are:

  • developed by Certified Irrigation Designers
  • installed by Certified Irrigation Contractors or Installers
  • run by Certified Irrigation Operators or Managers, with
  • product and advice from Certified Irrigation Retailers and Agronomists.
Certification is an industry-owned and managed recognition scheme. Recognition of skills and experience of personnel is essential if we as an industry are to be part of the solution of sustainable water use, rather than part of the problem of water shortage.
 
Certification is a voluntary, national program of industry recognition covering 7 occupations of designing, contracting, installing, operating, managing, retailing and providing advice.

By becoming a certified irrigation professional, you’ll be helping to lift the skills, knowledge and standards of the whole industry – which in turn will help the irrigation industry control its own future and become more sustainable. There are personal benefits too – as a certified irrigation professional you’ll gain recognition for your skills and better prospects for your future career.
