Online Wetland Basic Delineation Training
From Wetland Delineation
With the Swamp School Wetland Delineation training online, you can earn your certification in 16 weeks or less. The workshop covers basic wetland training and includes the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Manual, and you can choose any or all of the 10 Regional Supplements to get trained on. We cover the conceptual framework of the wetland indicators as well as the regulatory context, court decisions and related laws. Students can complete the 12 modules at their own pace and can coordinate the field work with their instructor. The class concludes with a review of your field work and a final exam. Upon successful completion of the class and a grade of 80% or higher, a certificate is issued for demonstrated education experience in the Professional Wetland Scientist Certification Program, which is offered by the Society of Wetland Scientists.
