How to Become Certified | Frequently Asked Questions

SWANA, in partnership with The US Composting Council's Professional Credentials Committee, has launched the first national certification for composting professionals, certifying those who demonstrate superior knowledge and understanding as a Composting Programs Manager.

Those earning this prestigious designation have specifically demonstrated their abilities in how to effectively plan, design, and operate composting sites.

As with all SWANA Certification Programs, a "prep course" is offered.  This course covers all of the various topics included in SWANA's certification exam and provides a more in-depth understanding of the latest technologies in the field. Those who attend will be in a position to make a more significant and immediate impact on their jobs and the future advancement of their careers.

Our Composting Prep Course is offered at many locations throughout the year.
