NRTG is considering the development of two new programs, and your valuable feedback will be essential in shaping their direction! Based on survey responses, these programs may be submitted to the College of Applied Biology for potential accreditation; however, please note that accreditation is not guaranteed. These new programs offer extensive hands-on field training in realistic scenarios with our team of industry experts and professionals.

As a thank-you for participating, you could be one of seven lucky winners! Prizes include a $250 gift card, three $100 gift cards, and three free seats in a MicroCourse of your choice!

This survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete and survey will close on Nov 17th (PT). Your responses are confidential. 

Please take a moment to review the details of these programs before completing the survey. 

The Climate Change Technician Program is designed for both new and experienced technicians. This program will span three to five weeks and will emphasize hands-on, field-based training in methods and strategies to identify, prevent, and mitigate environmental impacts resulting from climate change. 

The Habitat Restoration Technician Program is designed for new and experienced technicians. This program will last three to five weeks and will provide hands-on, field-based training in methods and strategies to monitor, identify, and restore aquatic and terrestrial habitats. 

Thank you for your participation!

NRTG is developing two new certificate programs and seeking input to develop and offer a series of other courses. We would love your feedback! These programs will emphasize hands-on training in essential field skills, complemented by theoretical components. They can be customized to align with client needs regarding course content and scheduling. Like our existing certificate programs, these will be accredited through the B.C. College of Applied Biology’s “Applied Biology Technician (ABT)” application process.  

As a token of our gratitude, participants in this survey will have the chance to win a $250 gift card, one of three $100 gift cards, or one of three free seats in a MicroCourse of their choice. 

This survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Your responses are confidential and will help NRTG enhance its course offerings. The survey will close on Nov 17th (PT). Thank you for your participation!
