Certified Wildlife Control Professional® Article Submission Form Guidelines
The National Wildlife Control Operators Association® Certification Committee allows CWCP® credit to be granted for reading articles, book chapters, and watching DVDs on subjects related to WCO activities.
The Committee accepts a wide range of materials because WCOs are involved in a variety of activities ranging from business practices, wildlife control, clean up, marketing, safety, human dimensions, and more. However, materials must be from a vetted source in accordance with the NWCOA CWCP Policy.
Publications that meet NWCOA standards include those created by CWCPs, those that meet the instructor standards, or from our approved list of journals and proceedings, are eligible for CEUs. Publications from other sources must be accompanied by supportive materials so that the author(s) can be evaluated by the NWCOA Education and Standards Committee. We encourage WCOs to endeavor to read or watch quality materials. Vetted publications include:
- Emerging Infectious Diseases
- Journal of Mammalogy
- Journal of Wildlife Management
- Human-Wildlife Interactions
- Journal of Wildlife Diseases
- OSHA Publications (not brochures or flyers)
- Proceedings of the Eastern Wildlife Damage Control Conference
- Proceedings of the Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop
- Proceedings of the Vertebrate Pest Conference
- Proceedings of the Wildlife Damage Management Conference
- Wildlife Society Bulletin
More than half of the above journals have free access. Articles from other journals may be found at a local college or university or by searching with Google Scholar

- A summary of the article should be submitted and can include Bullet points. Try to be specific about what you have learned to show us that you read/watched the material.
