Wetlands.edu seeking national accreditation
Wetlands.edu has joined forces with Rural Solutions SA (a Registered Training Organisation) to seek national accreditation for its training courses. It is hoped that by early 2008 participants in our courses will be able to use this to gain credit under appropriate other training courses being undertaken through tertiary institutions.
Training modules undergoing peer review
Related to the above, Wetlands.edu is also having all 17 of its modules (see separate page on this site listing these) peer reviewed by suitable experts at present so as to ensure our training materials are of the highest quality.
