DPA Resources

The DPA currently has four video presentations available to assist our members with their Professional Development Hour (PHD) on ethics. These online courses can be used to satisfy either a geoscience license or Board certification. There is a 15-question you may complete for a Certificate of Completion that may be used to get credited for having participated. These videos are offered at no cost to DPA Members.

A model Confidentialityand Non-Competition Agreement Form is available. A four-page Contract for Geoscience Services is also available without charge.
