1 The courses listed are not comprehensive and have been pre-approved for the noted amount of WDCP credits. If you do not see a course listed here, or would like to submit an agenda for a course to be added to the list please contact the program at wdcp@umn.edu. For questions regarding crediting, please visit the FAQ page of our website. * D or I indicate Direct or Indirect credits. Direct credits are applied at a 1:1 ratio, and are used for technical training courses relevant to wetland delineation. Indirect credits are those applied to TEP meetings, or policy related trainings (i.e. WCA), which can be used for half of the total required credits needed (i.e. 6 for professional certification, 3 for in-training certification). Half of the credits received may, or may not use indirect credits. (i.e. for professional certification 6 credits must be direct, the other six may be direct or indirect.)
