Environmental Resources Technology Certificate

This program will give students robust knowledge in natural resource sectors such as forestry, fisheries, and environmental assessment, including grasslands and mines. At the completion of this program, students may continue on to the diploma program.

Admission Eligibility Requirements

The first year of this program focuses on providing students with the skills necessary for data collection work in the field. Students will learn various things, such as tree and plant identification, mapping and navigation, geographic information, soil identification, resource measurements (distance, heights, slope, diameters, and elevation) and fire ecology. Since many students will go on to careers within BC First Nations traditional territories, courses in Ethnoscience and Aboriginal case law provide an understanding for students of the impact that First Nation people have on the land base and how unique it is. Upon completion of this program, students will be awarded a certificate which qualifies them to carry out field data collection.
