Region 1 | Region 8 MOCC Schedule

Contact: Aaron Garcia (208) 827-6360; aaron_garcia@fws.gov

Student spaces in USFWS-sponsored courses are filled with USFWS personnel first, collaborators and other DOI personnel second. If you work for one of the other DOI bureaus, contact your watercraft lead. Dates are subject to change.

A split course indicates the training days are not consecutive.  The content of a split course is the same as any other course of the same type (e.g., MOCC, Airboat Module, Open-Water Module). Typically, travelers do not enroll in split courses because of the delay between the first (classroom) day and the following (field) days.

Course attendees must be: (a) able to wear a personal flotation device (PFD) and perform manual tasks while in the water, (b) on official duty (thus covered by worker's compensation), and (c) able to legally operate a motorized vehicle.
