A rare opportunity to look at all diptera families. A pair of great tutors who are extremely knowledgeable and the course had a good balance of field work and microscope study. I came aware with a much better understanding of the different families of Diptera and the resources available to…
Excellent course with brilliant tutors.
This was the first FSC course that i’d participated in so didn’t really know what to expect. The tutor was great, very very knowledgeable and he kept us busy for the duration of the course. There was a wide variety of people on the course – from beginners to more…

Excellent tuition – encouraging and good fun. Beautiful location with interesting,scenic landscapes to paint. Would definitely recommend this course.
