Water Quality Monitor – Re-certification for Secchi & Dissolved Oxygen
Re-certification workshops are for current Secchi and DO water quality monitors. Please contact the Regional Coordinator for the workshop of your choice to register and schedule your specific meeting time. The times listed below are the workshop start times, and many workshops have multiple appointment times.
If you are due for Secchi re-certification, you may have the option to get re-certified with the online Secchi Simulator. Secchi monitors need to get re-certified on-the-water every 3 years, if they do not test annually with the online Simulator. If monitors do test annually with the Simulator, they only need on-the-water re-certification every 6 years.
Dissolved Oxygen monitors need to get re-certified annually, in person, along with their DO meter.
