Tuition

The tuition for the 2-day workshop is $390. $190 deposit (Venmo or PayPal) holds your spot until March 1, 2024 when the balance of $200 is payable in full.  
Are these the first CyberTracker evaluations ever held in the Rockies? The first one sold out within two weeks, so we scheduled a second.  The second sold out in 5 day so we scheduled a third session with Matt for August 10-11 with a free prep day on Aug 9.   All sessions are filled.  Scroll down to Wait List Policy to be added to the wait list. This far out, there will undoubtedly be cancellations.   We are maintaining a wait list for all sessions.  See “Refund & Wait List” Policy below. 
THIS FAR AHEAD OF THE EVENTS, THERE ARE ALWAYS CANCELLATIONS, BECAUSE “LIFE COMES UP” FOR SOME REGISTRANTS.  AT THIS TIME,  YOUR CHANCES OF SECURING A SPOT ARE EXCELLENT. 

This will indeed be epic. Our instructor/evaluator is Matt Nelson who spent spent months in these mountains researching mountain lions with Mark Elbroch.  Matt knows this area like the back of his hand.

Refund & Wait List Policy

Finding replacements for cancellations is difficult and a lot of admin work.  Therefore, our policy is: 

  • 45+ days before = $75 cancel fee if we can find a replacement. 
  • 44-21 days before = 50% refund if we can find a replacement. 
  • Less than 21 days before = 25% refund if we can find a replacement.
  • Less than 10 days before = no refund  

Refunds are given only if you or we (we will maintain a waiting list) find someone to take your place.  In the unlikely event of program cancelation, 100% of deposits will be refunded.  To ask any questions about this workshop or request other payment arrangements,  please contact Terry Hunefeld at thunefeld@gmail.com

TCNA Financial Aid Program

The financial disparities that keep certain groups of people from having equal opportunities are particularly stark in the fields of environmental education, science, and conservation. TCNA is committed to doing its best to ensure that more people who desire it may attend our programs and training. To this end, we have recently created a fund dedicated to helping make access to our programs more possible, especially for these historically marginalized communities:

  • Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
  • LGBTQ+
  • Women
  • Low-income groups/individuals

To apply for funds to attend a certification fill out the financial aid application.

Funds are currently limited but TCNA is making awards throughout the year. The submission deadline for the Colorado Rocky Mountain program is April 15, 2024.
