Environmental Education for Professional Scientists and Engineers

The Basic Botany for Wetland Assessment 104 Training was a solid, online training course for biologists, natural resources managers, ecologists, or other field experts. The course helped improved my botany vocabulary, plant identification, and assessment knowledge. The instructor was helpful and easy to contact. The work assignments were long and in-depth. The course was overall great.

“Thank you for putting together an online class accommodating to people who have busy schedules and would not be able to travel and do an actual classroom/field class with set dates and times.”

“This was a great course! I learned so many tips for the field. Worth every penny! Thank you.”   Winter Wetland Trees Online Workshop

I wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the on-line refresher.  I took the original wetland course at the Swamp School in Raleigh years ago, taught by you and it was fantastic.  Very useful and I have referred many people over the years to the Swamp School.  Thanks a bunch!

Great educational options for learning about wetland science. Army Corps compliant, great staff and experience. So glad to find them!

“I found the videos to be very helpful along with the Regional Supplement. The discussions were interesting and I like the fact that the site is mobile phone friendly.”

The staff was very helpful from the minute I called and until I received the required paperwork. I especially appreciated the follow-up call to ensure I had everything I needed in a timely manner. Good job!!

“I really appreciated the flexibility of this course, especially the assignment format. The regional overview lectures were interesting, and I definitely have a a better understanding of the different hydric soil indicators and their applicability.”

Best group of people ever!

Prompt response & very helpful! Thanks again.

I am at home, and this coursework is a welcome focus away from all that’s going on with COVID-19.

“All topics were presented well, in a manner that was easy to understand and follow. I appreciated the time extensions to complete assignments, as someone with a full-time job that can’t always get into the field to do the classwork when I want.”

My matter was dealt with in a professional and expedited manner. Thank you to all members of the firm that were involved. I look forward to participating in other events sponsored and hosted by this group. Thank you.

“I have really enjoyed the discussions between the members of the class. We are a niche field, so finding people outside of your company to talk candidly about sites, experiences, questions, and basically just nerd out, doesn’t come along often.”

I really like the class format and all of the material in it.  It has been a lot of fun and it was great to get out of the office to go hunt down some plants.

“This course was informative and surprisingly hands-on given that it is an online course. As a new wetland scientist, I found that this course was IMMENSELY helpful and improved my confidence in my own delineation skills.”

Truly, the friendliest, most helpful customer service person I’ve experienced in a long time. Very knowledgeable about how the website functions.

“Thank you for putting together this class and deepening my knowledge of living shorelines! I have taken Swamp School webinars before, but never one of the classes and this was a great experience.”

Enjoyed it. Thanks for the extra permitting portion of the class.

“Swamp School’s Online Wetland Delineation Training was great and I would recommend it to anyone seeking the training in a remote area or during the off season. I liked the format of the classroom and lectures, and the lessons were clearly defined and broken into small, easy-to-follow components.”

Received a response the same day, as well as an additional phone call the next morning to make sure I received what I needed. So friendly and helpful!

“Overall, I found the class very helpful in providing more detail on the design aspects of living shorelines. I appreciated the background information on surveying as well, which helped me understand the cross-section surveys we did for our site.”

Thanks for the help!!

“The class is very well set up with the requirements, syllabus, expectations and the class materials. I had no trouble navigating the platform.”

“I was very impressed by the inclusiveness of the classroom and appreciated having all materials, including my Regional Supplement on one platform. The video instructor was clear, knowledgeable, thorough and funny! My instructor was always available and gave great feedback.”

“Thank you – your ethics, dedication and creativity shine through in all that you do.”

“I thought the overall organization of the program was great and provided the correct flow of topic materials to get us ready to head out in the field.”

“The Swamp School’s Certified Wetland Hydrologist course has a much higher degree of rigor and depth than another company’s course I attended years ago. I learned a few misconceptions I had on certain hydrologic indicators and shared them with my team.”

“I am completely new to wetland delineation, so this class had a wealth of information. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to turn my career in a new direction and for caring about wetlands and teaching people how to protect them!”

“I was surprised by the amount and depth of material. I found this course to be equal to any of the graduate level courses that I have taken, with a workload to match.”

“When I signed up, I was looking for a class that would get me outside digging soil pits on my own with feedback from someone to tell me if I was right or wrong in my identification, and that is exactly what this class provided.”

“All of my questions were answered beyond my expectations and in a very friendly manner. Thanks for being so helpful and prompt.”

“This class greatly advanced my knowledge of wetland delineation and the environmental laws and policies that govern it. I enjoyed this class and think that it was a great resource for the future.”

The instructor was great and made the class interesting and fun. He asked us what else we’d like to learn and focus on when we had a rain day and made it very educational.
