When is it? 8th February - 22nd March 2023 (6 weeks, 4 hours learning/week).

What will I learn? Previously called Strategy Development for Wildlife Conservation, this training course has been developed with input from experienced practitioners to help conservationists create effective strategies for conservation projects of any type or size.

You will learn how to:

• Assess the current situation, to better understand and document the situation you are trying to change
• Plan the impact you want to achieve
• Plan the work you will carry out to achieve that impact
• Adapt your strategy to your needs and situation.

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 on 15th February. 2 live session times available (10.30am or 5.30pm GMT) to fit your schedule
• 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.
