Complete Your Certification
As stated on the National TWS program website . . . "the primary
objective of the TWS Certification Program is to provide public and private
clients and employers more positive access to professional advice in matters
concerning wildlife resources." TWS maintains a registry of individuals who have
undergone a critical peer evaluation and have been approved by the Certification
Review Board as a Certified Wildlife Biologist or an Associate Wildlife
Biologist.
CWB - individual who has completed acceptable educational
and experience requirements.
AWB - a preliminary step for an individual who has
completed the educational requirements, but not the experience requirement.
Holding a certificate from The Wildlife Society places you in a
category distinct from other wildlife professionals due to the integrity of the
organization and the high standards of the certification process. You earn
credibility and respect, which offers you an added advantage when applying for
jobs, in public forums, and in legal proceedings.
If you are interested in becoming a
Certified Wildlife Biologist, please contact Susan Rupp at (605) 688-4779.
