Who is this for? Conservation professionals, early career starters and career-switchers. So far, we have trained over 2,000 conservationists from 118 countries, working for organisations such as the Worldwide Fund for Nature, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Wildlife Trusts. You can see all of our graduates here.

When is it? 20th February - 26th March, 2024 (5 weeks, 3 - 3.5 hours learning/week).

What will I learn? You will learn how to plan and report on monitoring and evaluation activities for any type of conservation project. This course covers how to:

• Define project success in terms of results, objectives and tolerance limits.
• Set indicators to track progress and assess project success.
• Plan monitoring activities to track changes in the situation
• Plan evaluation activities to assess how impact was achieved and how much impact was due to the project.
• Report impact using diagrams and charts.

What will my learning experience be like? You will learn through:

• Pre-recorded videos sent out each week for you to learn from in your own time
• Live expert-led sessions every Wednesday, starting 27th February at either 10:30am or 5:30pm GMT, lasting 1.5 hours.
• If you miss a live session you can still watch it in your own time later on
• A multiple-choice exam to help you focus your learning efforts and assess your own ability. On passing the exam you will get a certificate to show others (e.g. managers or potential employers) that you have attained this skill.

PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend completing our Project Planning for Wildlife Conservation course (or an equivalent training) prior to taking our Monitoring and Evaluation for Wildlife Conservation course. This is because our monitoring and evaluation approach requires a basic understanding of Theory of Change diagrams and conceptual models.
