You can document your learning from this Web site
by meeting the requirements for Watershed Academy Web's Watershed
Management Training Certificate. This certificate program recognizes
trainees who complete 15 modules and pass their self-tests.
People throughout the United States and several
foreign countries have completed the certificate program. They include
scientists and non scientists, local, state and federal agency staff,
community leaders, consultants, college students and teachers, active
citizens, and others.
The Certificate Program Rules are:
- No registration, admission, or tuition is necessary;
this program is open to everyone worldwide, at any time, and is completely
Internet-based;
- Trainees must complete a minimum of 15 modules,
a minimum of 12 of which must be from the core modules list;
- We recommend completing all 15 modules from
the
core modules list, but trainees may substitute alternate choices
for up to 3 core modules in which their training is already sufficient;
- All core modules have self-tests which trainees
must pass with a grade of 70% or higher (retesting is permitted).
Copies of self-tests or test grades do not have to be mailed
to the Watershed Academy -- this is an honor-system-based program.
- We do not have an arrangement for offering academic
credit to all certificate earners, but obtaining academic credit is
often possible through individual arrangements with college professors
as part of an independent study, undergraduate, or graduate program.
- After completing all certificate requirements,
provide your full name and mailing address to wacademy@epa.gov.
We will mail you a signed certificate.
