The basic delineation class we offer is generally what most employers and their clients require. It is a 36-hour class that covers all the skills needed to do a wetland delineation. Upon successful competition of the class, you are ready to go to work.
The certification program that we offer is intended to advance your credentials as a wetland scientist. The program consists of 4 classes that run 12 weeks each, so it takes about a year to complete the program. The program was specialty designed to help identify true wetland delineation experts and serves to help them market their skills to potential clients. The basic delineation class is a prerequisite for this program, and it is suggested that the student have a couple years’ experience doing wetland delineations before starting the program.
Both sets of classes are accepted by the Society of Wetland Scientists as suitable continuing education for their Professional Wetland Scientist certification.
The US Army Corps of Engineers and the US EPA do not pre-approve any wetland training. However, many of our students come from both agencies and we are a Federal General Services Agency (GSA) approved vendor for wetland classes.
