Bats: Architectural Terms for Bat Workers is an online, self-study course designed to give you a broad knowledge of architectural terms. Ecologists and bat workers often have to communicate with builders and architects who require them to describe and understand buildings. Understanding the correct terminology will lead to better, more efficient communication. You will be able to help builders and architects design and produce mitigation for bats in buildings and developments.
Course format: Bats: Architectural Terms for Bat Workers is delivered as three online modules which will be available as soon as you book. The modules will include some quiz questions so you can test yourself as you go through. At the end of the course, there is a short quiz. If you get over 70%, you will receive a Certificate. Following your successful completion of the course, you will also be given access to an Architectural Terms Cheat Sheet that you can print out and take to the site with you.
Time commitment: Each module takes around 1-3 hours, depending on whether you do any further research.
Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, you will have an awareness of a range of architectural terms. You will be able to effectively describe buildings, write reports, create diagrams or discuss buildings with architects or builders on site. You will gain a wider knowledge of the subject that will help you become a better ecologist and bat worker.

Another brilliant course! I’m always so stuck when I come to do building and bridge descriptions in reports so this has been so helpful, and I know that I am going to be using the cheat sheet all the time – that’s a really great resource so thanks for including that with the course content
Thank you so much for offering this course, I found it really interesting and useful, and have recommended it to everyone I know
I really liked the course, It is very easy to follow and everything was very well explained, I have learned a lot and feel much more confident for my Bat surveys.
The teaching is excellent. It’s clear, precise and easy to follow. The knowledge from Sue is fantastic and it’s taught in a very understandable way with no rush. It’s been really good and I feel I’ve been able to retain the information well because of the way the course has been taught.
I liked the course, it was very comprehensive. I’m surprised how much I enjoyed the online elements of the course, I thought I would do better in a face to face course but honestly being able to go at my own pace is really working for me as I can spend time on the bits I find tricky as they come up rather than making a note to look things up later… I like the YouTube videos, being able to pause or even speed up the video to match my pace works well for me. I do feel like I learnt a lot. I would 100% recommend the course to others
Depth of knowledge was excellent.
Useful links, detailed information, great supporting photos
Flexibility and easy to follow layout.
I liked the ability to undertake the course at my own pace.
