The program requires that 4 courses be taken, each taking 2 weeks of study time. The program will take about 60 hours to complete.

Each course in this program will require approximately 15 hours of learner’s time. The program has 4 courses:

1. Forest Insect Biology, Ecology and Population Dynamics (October 2 – 13, 2023)
2. Forest Disease Biology, Ecology and Epidemiology (October 16 – 27, 2023)
3. Forest Insect Identification and Management (November 6 – 17, 2023)
4. Forest Disease Identification and Management (November 20 – December 1, 2023)

Courses must be taken in sequential order, as they build on one another, but may be taken individually, in different sessions within a two-year time frame, to receive the micro-certificate.
