Certified Prescribed Burn Manager Course
We and our partners hold an annual Prescribed Burn Manager Training each spring (May/June) in the Lufkin, Texas, area. Students who pass the final exam will meet the education requirements for becoming a TDA Certified and Insured Prescribed Burn Manager in region 4 (East Texas).
The course is open to the public, but pre-registration is required. Limited seating is available, and priority is given to students who meet the experience requirements for the Texas Department of Agriculture certification.
Additional requirements for certification include:
- Three years of prescribed burning experience in the region,
- 30 days of prescribed burning in any region,
- Five days of prescribed burning as the responsible individual, and
- Qualifying insurance policy (TDA Prescribed Burn Program).
The field day of this course requires students to demonstrate an ability to safely participate in a prescribed burn.
