Data Collection for Environmental Professionals Training

SHARE

Data are the observations made on the environment which are the results of measurements. Environmental professionals collect data for analysis, which is then used to make decisions. We need to be able to collect relevant data, in the appropriate samples sizes, in order to measure our environment with the least amount of error. This is a great opportunity to enhance your analytical skills and improve your overall knowledge of data collection. This introductory workshop is offered online and can be completed based on your own schedule. You will be able to participate in classroom discussions, watch video presentations and complete class assignments all from the convenience of your home or office. Plus, you can work on the class at a time that is most suitable to your schedule. There is no need to log in at any particular time to participate in this program.
