The Terrestrial Invasive Plant (TIP) Management Certificate Course is an asynchronous, professional, online course that was created to provide you with a well-rounded foundation in terrestrial invasive plant or noxious weed management. Experts from the North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) have carefully curated this content just for you!

This asynchronous course consists of sequenced video presentations, along with supplemental materials for in-depth learning and assessment. The majority of the TIP video lessons are original content developed by NAISMA experts exclusively for this course. The new content is supplemented with case studies and presentations from NAISMA’s webinar library and past conference presentations that can only be seen inside of TIP. 

All individuals are expected to move in order through each TIP lesson or assessment by reading the information, watching each video in its entirety, and exploring the supplemental learning options (e.g. reading publications, conducting activities, or reviewing websites). Participants can go back and re-watch videos, as needed.  

This course is designed specifically for individuals that are interested in learning the foundational aspects of terrestrial invasive plant or noxious weed management and was developed by weed managers with real world experience managing invasive plants. 

It is strongly recommended that people take the The Foundations of Invasive Species Management Certificate Course prior to taking this Terrestrial Invasive Plant Management Certificate Course. However, this class is open to anyone and there are no prerequisites.
