Training Programme 2008

Course availability

Contact us for further details of courses and workshops below or to request new ones under the headings of conservation, wildlife surveys, species identification and sustainable living. This will greatly help us to develop our training programme in line with demand.

Course title Each course title links to a detailed description of the course. Those courses marked "LLL" are run at Denmark Farm in association with the School of Lifelong Learning, Science and Biology Department of the University of Aberystwyth. Participants will gain Higher Education qualification at 10 credits per course.

Cost The lower price applies if you are unwaged (or work less than 16 hours per week). Members of Shared Earth Trust can receive a further 10% discount on the higher course price (excluding Lifelong Learning courses, which are already subsidised). For some of our courses we have been able to obtain substantial grant-aid or subsidy and so we can offer them at very favourable rates.

Status Use the "Reserve" link to reserve a place using the Course Booking form.

Where a course is fully booked or has already been held, you can use the "Reserve" link to express an interest for next year or to be offered any places available through cancellations.
