Here’s what our students are saying:

Good informative and structured course. Explains the basics. Only thing left is practical experience.
Theodore Olivier
Field based video examples e.g. bird song and calls allowed me to immediately recognise a chiff chaff. Examples of poop and footprints really good too as allows you to see what’s around in your local environment.
Ian Price
Excellent beginners course thank you!
Zoe
Depth of knowledge was excellent.
Alister
The course was enjoyable and informative. I found it particularly helpful in how flexible the study time was. You could do one module and then leave it a day or two when you had more time. It has also helped my career prospects.
Tim
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
It was very informative and easy to access and navigate.
Tim
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
Flexibility and easy to follow layout.
