Upcoming Trainings

  • October 16: Self-Study Exam - The Marin Municipal Water District is offering a self-study Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper (QWEL) exam allowing landscapers to attain QWEL designation without attending the 12 week QWEL training class. Participants MUST pass the QWEL exam and conduct an irrigation system audit on their own using the QWEL irrigation audit forms. For your convenience we are offering an Assisted Irrigation Audit on October 16th just before exam. See the exam registration schedule below for details. Once registered, study materials and the irrigation audit form will be emailed to you.
