Hosting a Certification

Any individual or organization is welcome to host an Evaluator to deliver a certification in their area, and the process begins by contacting TCNA or a specific Evaluator for scheduling. Hosts are responsible for recruiting, logistics, and communication with participants and any required land use permits.

Each CyberTracker Evaluator has a unique style, but the certification process is the same. If you have a prior relationship with an Evaluator or would like to request someone in particular, please contact them directly. Otherwise, send us a general query, and we’ll be in touch soon. We’ll always prioritize the closest Evaluator to reduce travel costs, but all Evaluators are qualified to come to any location in North America at any time of year.
