Regulations and Protocols Course Online is a Good Refresher

The fifth year renewal for Agricultural Operations Strategy Plan Development Certificate (AOSPDC) is approaching for many of the nutrient management consultants. A good refresher before writing your recertification exam is to review the Regulations and Protocols by signing up for the Online Course.

Robert Duncombe, the Environmental Management Branch Marketing and Communications Officer tells us the Online Regulations and Protocol Course is the right solution to meet a unique and challenging learning need. He advises potential users that the Regulations and Protocol Course Online:

• is designed to be user-friendly, and convenient
• provides unlimited access to many useful resources
• reduces the environmental impact of travel, accommodation, and energy, traditionally associated with classroom based courses.

Sign up for a username and password by contacting the Nutrient Management Information Line at 1-866-242-4460. OMAFRA staff are available to help with any questions as you work through the online course.
