The Irrigation Certificate Program provides students with the skills, knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to meet the Irrigation Association standards to apply for the Auditor, Contractor or Designer Exams. Students will develop the basic skills and knowledge about irrigation principles and practices. They will explore and become familiar with the current practices in agriculture, landscape, turf management and residential industries. Students will have access to practical applications and computer training on these topics as well as worksite learning opportunities. Basic soil and plant science, electrical principles and pumping technologies will be covered.
This is a locally approved certificate. Upon satisfactory completion of the listed requirements and application for completion of the certificate to Admissions and Records, the student will receive a certificate of completion. This certificate program is not approved through the California Community College Chancellor’s Office; therefore, completion of the certificate will not be listed on the student’s transcript.
