The fascinating world of Entomology deals with the study of insects. During this course, you will learn about the fabulous diversity of insect life. You will learn their classification and their roles in ecosystems around the world. 

Together, we will look at the major groups of insects and study their characteristics. We will also learn about how they interact with their environment in interesting and unique ways. 

This Entomology course is ideal for anyone who wishes to gain a deep understanding of insects without having to go to university. You will get a better understanding of the conservation issues surrounding insects and their habitat, and you will understand more of the importance of effective habitat restoration.

Stepping into the wonderful world of Entomology is like entering another world. A world where everything is in miniature. And a world that connects so many other kingdoms together. Studying insects helps us understand how vital these creatures are for their environmental engineering, pollination services and, of course, providing food for other creatures. 

We want you to attain a broad understanding of insects with this course. This will allow you to apply this to your different areas of work or pursue whichever specific aspects interest you the most.

The topic of entomology is broad and deep, and with this course, we will give an in-depth overview. The course is designed for beginners but will be suitable for anyone with an interest in insects and ecology.

This is a really good course for anyone who wants a solid grounding in the basics of entomology. It ranges from information on insect anatomy and ecology, to more applied entomology such as its uses in medicine and as pest control.

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.
Max
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
SC
Depth of knowledge was excellent.
Alister
Useful links, detailed information, great supporting photos
Claire
Flexibility and easy to follow layout.
Michael
I liked the ability to undertake the course at my own pace.
