MEEA Environmental Educator – Level 1
Requirements- Knowledge
After the application is accepted, a candidate is required to pass six multiple choice quizzes to demonstrate knowledge of key areas. The online quizzes consist of 30 multiple choice questions selected randomly from a test bank of 80 to 139 questions. To pass a candidate must have a score of 26 out of 30 correct. The quizzes themselves are free to take, and can be taken multiple times until they are passed.
Once the certification coordinator receives documentation of a passing score and required fees, a notice that the quiz was completed will be posted on her or his certification web page and recorded in the electronic and paper files.
Applicants may study all the questions in advance by downloading the study guide questions posted below.
