Continuing Education Courses in the Central Valley

Central Valley Water Quality Coalitions are offering continuing education courses for growers who have completed the NMP self certification program and want to maintain their certification. These courses have been approved by the University of California under a grant from CDFA's FREP program.

Growers may attend a 4 hour NMP self-certification training session (without taking the test) for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Attendees must stay for the entire course to earn the unit. Please make sure to sign in on the Continuing Education sign-in sheet when you arrive and collect your Continuing Education Certificate of Completion before you leave.
