Registration Information

The NRCCA Basic Training is designed to help perspective CCA’s prepare for the Northeast Region exam.

We are proud to announce the most comprehensive Basic Training Program ever offered! Register today, and receive instant access to hours of pre-conference video preparatory lessons including copies of the handouts in all four performance objective areas: Crop Management, Pest Management, Nutrient Management, and Soil and Water Management.

Registrants are also registered for live two-day attendance Northeast Agribusiness & CCA Training featuring the Cornell Field Crop Dealer Meeting November 29 and November 30 at the Doubletree Hotel, East Syracuse, NY. The first day, Basic attendees will have dedicated sessions. The second day, the Basic Registrants will join the advanced training sessions, including the Cornell Field Crop Dealer Meeting. Lunch included both days.

Finally, Registrants will receive access to four live teleconference Q&A Sessions regarding the material as you make yourr final push to prepare for the February exam.

It should be understood that in order to become a CCA it is necessary to pass two exams;

Northeast Region exam
International exam

The content of the NRCCA Basic Training is specific to the Northeast Region exam. ICCA offers study materials for the International exam that are available for purchase on their website, https://www.certifiedcropadviser.org/exams/exam-study-materials/.

As soon as you register you will be provided access to the recorded content and other relevant resources for the Northeast Region Exam. Past participants have reported that this training is helpful in preparing for the exam but it should be clear that the Basic Training is meant to be a study aid and represents a relatively small portion of the overall study time an aspiring CCA needs to commit to successfully prepare for the exams.

Registration Deadline: There is not a specific deadline; however, late registration will severely limit the registrant’s ability to allocate the needed amount of time to utilize available resources.
