Upon countless requests to bring SWANA’s Certification courses online to you, SWANA’s premier Managing Composting Programs certification course is now available online. Featuring the same content available during On-Site training, participate in instructor led eSessions from the comfort of your home or office, or download recordings and supplemental materials for review---on your schedule.

Featuring SWANA Certified instructors, SWANA’s new Composting eSeries will help you with mastery of the Composting Programs Exam or award you the Continuing Education Units (CEUs) needed for recertification.

SWANA’s Composting eSeries examines key principles of managing municipal composting programs. The course covers understanding of composting’s place in solid waste management, as well as compost uses, markets and compost quality. The course presents the fundamental biological principles of composting and examines different compost methods, techniques and technologies. In addition, site design and development, organic materials collection, the economics of composting, operations and troubleshooting, and the nuts and bolts of regulatory compliance are addressed. Lastly, the course reviews other (non-composting) methods of managing the organic waste stream.

Instructor led courses take place on Thursdays from September 22 through November 2011. Registration is available for the entire eSeries, or as individual Composting eSessions. Each eSession will be available for download within days following instructor led courses.
