Training in cultural resource management and associated areas is available through a number of sources. The Department of Defense Schools participating in the Interservice Environmental Education Review Board (ISEERB) offer courses that have been approved by ISEERB as suitable for more than one Defense Service or Component. Besides courses (ISEERB or not) offered directly by Army and other Defense schools, there are also useful courses offered by other federal agencies.
Army courses listed here are offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Learning Center (ULC) in Huntsville, AL. Navy courses are offered by the Navy's Civil Engineer Corps Officers School (CECOS), Port Hueneme, CA.
