Florida Statewide (62-340 FAC) Wetland Training

This course covers the wetland delineation method used by the five Water Management Districts, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, counties and cities in Florida.  All wetland scientists, public and private, working in Florida need this course!

Our renowned course provides training to become a HAZWOPER Trainer. Now offered through our Live Virtual Classroom and real classroom.

On the screen, the instructor and all the participants can see and hear each other. The instructor, Richard Chinn, CET, discusses the protocols for HAZWOPER instruction and all the participants can see his desktop with the Powerpoint Display.

Later, participants give training presentations that they record and either play directly onto the shared desktop or upload to a secure webpage.
