Advanced Training for Environmental Education in Georgia (ATEEG) is a nationally accredited, professional certification program for formal and non-formal educators based on the Guidelines for Excellence from the North American Association for Environmental Education. The program is offered by EEA in partnership with the Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources at the University of Georgia, and is implemented by a Certification Advisory Board.

The ATEEG program is comprised of three parts that provide participants instructional content, professional development, and independent work. Participants have three years to complete the program.
1. Core Courses Core courses are offered yearly and more than once in a given year, based on demand. Candidates must successfully complete each course and are encouraged to participate in all three workshops in the same year. You can get started with any of the core courses offered. To provide some flexibility in your busy schedules, each course runs in a hybrid format. Participants complete online, asynchronous work FIRST, then attend a 1-1.5 day in-person workshop with instructors at various locations across the state.
2. Specialization Hours Specialization hours are earned when attending professional development opportunities (workshops, trainings, conferences, etc...) offered in the state that advances the participant's EE content knowledge and skills. You may begin accruing the required 30 hours after participating in your first core course. 3. Independent Study Independent study is the culminating project that allows EE Certification candidates to apply their EE knowledge and skills in an area of interest. A candidate submits the IS project proposal after completing all three (3) core courses. |
