Anaerobic Digestion Technology Certificate Program

Curriculum Modules

The curriculum for the Anaerobic Digestion Technology Certificate Program was developed through a DACUM process outlined on the Program Description page. We determined that based on the typical duties and the background knowledge and abilities required of an AD technician, some curriculum was already in place at Bellingham Technical College while some components needed to be developed.

The entire curriculum is now available online!

Available for use by other institutions of higher learning, the curriculum is broken into online modules including videos, video capture of live lectures and field instruction, assignments, slides and more!  The materials are available at no cost:

•  Curriculum Modules

Use and share these videos created wholly or in part by program grant funds:

• Video: Anaerobic Digestion: Beyond Waste Management

• Video: Anaerobic Digester Technology

The textbook used by the course is also available online:

• Textbook: Biomethane from Dairy Waste: A Sourcebook for the Production and Use of Renewable Natural Gas in California
