The Core
Program: Getting started with WETT
The WETT system consists of several courses recognizing the various types of work
done by wood energy professionals. Certification is achieved by completing courses
to earn educational credits and submitting a declaration of experience within
the industry. When you register for the first course, a technical reference manual
is sent to you so that you can begin preparing for the first course. Even after
you've completed the Code Compliance course, you will find that the manual is
a very useful resource.
To register for any WETT course, simply fill out the registration
form and
return it to your local Affiliate (or to the WETT office if you are in a non-affiliated
area). Send in your completed registration form and payment to reserve your place
in the course. Plan to respond promptly since there is a course maximum of 25
participants.
Why continuing education?
Continuing education is a new aspect of the WETT certification process that responds
to changes in regulations, market conditions and technological change. Continuing
education provides you the opportunity to refine your skills and knowledge of
residential wood energy technology and ensure that you have the training necessary
to continue providing valued, qualified service to your customers.
Continuing education requirements
All WETT certificate holders are required to pass at least one course every five
year in order to maintain certification. Members who achieved certification, at
any level, or who successfully completed a continuing education credit, in 1999
are required to successfully complete at least one course before the end of 2004.
Acceptable courses
Successful completion of any one-day WETT course not already taken earns the certificate
holder one CE credit. In the case of the successful completion of a two-day course,
two CE credits are awarded. This still implies that the certificate holder has
to take at least one course every five years to maintain certification.Fortunately,
WETT has developed great new continuing education courses that you’ll want
to take advantage of as soon as possible.
