NWCOA brings this two-day certification course to Minnesota to train new and current WCOs that perform wildlife management services in or on residential and commercial properties. Upon completion of this course and successful passing of a test, the WCO will become a NWCOA Certified Wildlife Control Operator, receive a certificate of completion, and use of the logo. The name of this course has recently been changed! It was previously known as the Basic Wildlife Control Operator Train-ing Course, but since it is anything but basic, we dropped that word! This course provides a broad overview of the animals commonly managed by WCOs and is taught by practitio-ners who share insightful solutions to many of the challenges our industry faces everyday!

Birds cause millions of dollars of damage to homes, commercial properties, government buildings and industrial facilities each year. The Bird Barrier certification training course will help you determine which bird control product is suited for solving any bird problem and how to install that product on your client’s property. Upon completion of this course and successful passing of a test, the WCO will become a Bird Barrier Certified Installer and receive a certificate. The Bird Barrier certi-

fication training course will provide an introduc-tion to bird control, bird biology and habits and talk about bird pressure. The class will discuss

how to choose bird control products, and how to sell them to your customers. Finally, we will do hands-on mini installs on several products.
