Each course explores a different subject which is relevant to employment in our sector: camera trapping, wildlife journal making, stakeholder engagement, tree i.d. & survey, environmental influencing and birds in education.
We are looking at ways to make these courses as accessible as possible with a small administration fee (if there is sufficient interest – please register at the bottom of this page).
In addition to the 6 distance learning course, the project did a lot of other things such as training for staff and students and exploring how to provide suitable recognition for learning. To explore these project outcomes and see the full Evaluation Report please follow this link.
