I have been looking for an online herpetology course, for college credit w/ no prerequisites-does that exist anywhere? Or, are there any college Professors on here who would be willing to start one? And/or a reptile & amphibian conservation & rehabilitation course?
Seeking online herpetology credit courses w/ no prerequisites!

I'm interested in bird, insect, amphibian, & reptile conservation, as well as creative nature writing, and environmental art/digital design. Looking to help my animal friends take back their habitats that were stolen from them and destroyed!

Hey, Laura. Good question! With a quick Google search, this is some of what I found (you might have to ask if you can transfer credits where you need them):
https://amphibianfoundation.org/index.php/southeastern-master-herpetologist

It might be beneficial to add the "ask for help" badge to this post as well as posting the question to the Q&A section. You can also reach out to members who might be able to help by searching the member directory.
Hi Laura,
Oxford University's Dept fro Continuing Education offer two online modules that might be relevant, as part of their PGCert in Ecological Survey Techniques:
1. Mammal and reptile survey methods
2. Fish and amphibian survey methods
They used to offer these as stand-alone courses, but I'm not sure whether they still do - I'll leave you to explore their course directory.
Good luck finding suitable training!
