Pat Oda
Program Manager

"One big benefit of the AGC EF classes is that participants return to work the next day with new skills and knowledge they can immediately use....all participants are excited about learning. Most are advancing in their careers and truly have a passion to learn more and become better at their jobs."

Carl started teaching the Washington State Department of Transportation Erosion Control Lead Certification and the Dept of Ecology Erosion Control Certification classes for the AGC EF in 2000.

“Courses taught through the AGC EF target specific needs students have on the job. These classes are an efficient use of their time away from the workplace. I continue to work with the AGC EF because I enjoy the enthusiastic and willing students, and the helpful and supportive staff.”
