Courses & Training

We run a number of face-to-face courses, including field-based training where appropriate, as we believe that it is essential to understand how and where to look for field signs through real in-the-field experience, rather than via an on-line course.

We offer a number of courses aimed at early career and more experienced ecologists throughout the year. We can also run bespoke training courses for you on specific subjects. Please Contact Us if you are interested in attending or would like a quote for a bespoke course.

Payment for courses is required prior to the event unless a purchase order or other guarantee is provided. Full details are provided in our booking form, on request. Prices are exclusive of VAT, although if you/your employer are not VAT registered we will discount course costs by 16.67% (VAT equivalent).
