IWR offers free online training courses that can partially qualify you to be an OSHA-certified Wildlife Responder or to assist in the capture and trasport of oiled sea otters to the rehabilitation facility. Additional classroom and field instruction offered annually in Alaska will be required to complete your training.

The button on the left below will launch the online training for those interested in working as Responders in the rehabilitation facility. After you have studied the material (Chapters 1,3,4,6,7,8,9 and 14 are required), click on the volunteer certification quiz button.  If you pass the quiz (you will be able to take it more than once), you can request to be registered as a Responder.

The button on the right will launch the online training for those who will assist with the capture, stabilization and transport of oiled sea otters to the rehabilitation facility.
