What will I learn? You will learn the skills to manage conservation projects of any type or size, by:
- Applying a set of practical and ethical principles to guide your project
- Assigning roles to clarify team structure and decision-making, and improve internal communication and coordination
- Splitting projects into clear phases, to manage a project from start to finish
- Using control processes to monitor the progress of your work and adapt to new information and changing conditions
- Establishing administrative processes to help conduct effective internal meetings and develop high-quality project documents
- Standardising reporting to record, evaluate and share the impact of your work, both internally and externally.

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 Monday, starting on 6th February 2023. 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.
