This introductory online course will introduce you to the key characteristics of amphibians, and will then look more in-depth into the identification and ecology of UK species.
Increase your knowledge and explore the world of UK amphibians. For many of us, one of our first experiences in meeting wildlife is with frogs and tadpoles in our gardens. Being able to identify species and make site adjustments is a critical skill for anyone looking at working within a consultancy career.
This introductory course is a great introduction for anyone with an interest in herpetofauna and for those looking at taking their first steps into an ecology career. All content has been created by the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust, so you can be confident that you are getting information from leading experts working within this field.
