I completed two online courses through UC Davis Extension yesterday. At the moment I am sampling different possible routes for my next career. Last Spring it was Real Estate through Sac City College, later this summer, when I thought I could be training for CSUB, it was Blackboard certifications. This fall I thought I might explore what my wife does, environmental related work.
The courses were taught online around the implementation of the CAMEO suite from EPA. There may have been much more of a learning curve were it not for the courses I took in environmental sciences back in the early 90s at Diablo Valley College. As it is it was a definite challenge. Anyone interested in developing emergency response plans for a municipality would do well to investigate this package. I enjoyed both courses very much, and the instructor, Kevin Smith presented some very interesting scenarios for learning and implementing the software. It is a pity that UCD does not make more of the hazardous materials program available online. Being a five hour trip each way, it is a bit far for me to go to take classroom courses.
I highly recommend the extension at UCD and these courses if they are of interest. I wold recommend Kevin Smith as an instructor as well. You can find out more about Cameo by going to http://www.epa.gov/oem/content/cameo/what.htm
