Frequently asked questions
Who can participate?
The courses are designed specifically to provide practical learning about a range of nature conservation policies and practices for individuals working in Natura 2000 and/ or Protected Area management.
The courses will be particularly relevant for individuals working in forest or marine protected areas.
Why should I get involved and what can I expect to gain from the courses?
Through the assignments and exercises, participants will be able to apply their learning to specific management issues they are experiencing - this can be to develop a solution to address a specific management problem, develop new ideas which improve existing management practices or share learning with colleagues working in their teams.
Is it possible to only participate in some of the courses? Are the courses suited for 'beginners'?
All participants will be required in advance to commit fully to participation. Otherwise, you may deny a place for someone else. This includes obligatory participation in the face-to-face workshops unless there would be totally unavoidable or exceptional circumstances to prevent participation.
Also, participants are expected to complete all Online modules and attend pre-scheduled group learning sessions.
It is a requirement of participation that at least 70% of the scheduled group sessions must be attended 'live'.
Finally, all other elements of the course modules can be followed at times which suit each individual participant - this includes the opportunity to watch recorded scheduled group sessions if you would not be able to join 'live'.
