WSAG
The Willis School of Applied Geoscience (WSAG) operates under the umbrella of Applied-Geoscience LLC. With over 35 years of university and industry training experience, Dr. Willis has developed a world-class course catalog that rivals and even exceeds that of many university graduate programs, but with an applied, industry-based focus! These courses are available both as public offerings and in-house training and we offer them in various formats, including in-person, online, and hybrid options. Courses can be customized to fit your company’s specific needs, including course length which typically range from 3–5 full days. Online courses are typically taught in half-day sessions.
For more information, please email info@applied-geoscience.com. Contact us for group discounts for public courses or inquire about in-house courses (in-person or virtual). Join our mailing list (see bottom of page) for occasional updates to our public course offerings.
Pay It Forward!
Every professional registration provides sponsorship in your company’s name for a student to attend at no cost. Can’t attend but still want to support students? Please consider providing a scholarship in your company’s name that will directly offset all costs for a student to attend.
