Aerial of NCTC Campus

NCTC offers a unique and diverse range of conservation training courses, designed by and for the conservation professional. Topics range from coldwater fish culture to habitat conservation planning, from environmental negotiation to building community support for natural resource programs. NCTC staff continuously work with field personnel, instructors, and other conservation experts to develop and deliver high-quality and timely training. While some courses have been developed specifically for Fish and Wildlife Service employees, most are a good match for any conservation professional. We’ll even deliver training to you via satellite-based distance learning productions, or in self-study modules, so you can still take NCTC courses when it’s not possible to come to Shepherdstown.
