The Irrigation
Certificate Program provides students with the skills, knowledge and
hands-on experience necessary to meet the Irrigation Association
standards to apply for the Auditor, Contractor or Designer Exams.
Students will develop the basic skills and knowledge about
irrigation principles and practices. They will explore and become
familiar with the current practices in agriculture, landscape, turf
management and residential industries. Students will have access to
practical applications and computer training on these topics as well
as worksite learning opportunities. Basic soils plant, electrical
and pumping technologies will be covered to prepare them for the
Irrigation Association exam.

In addition to
the core courses, students will need to complete additional hours of
work experience in order to take the Contractor or Designers
Certification Exam with the Irrigation Association. Shasta College
plans on making these opportunities available through Ornamental
Horticulture Practices (HORT 56). In addition to irrigation,
contractors would need skills in layout, staking, business skills
and codes.
