You have the choice to pay in full for the course or offset your course fees against the paid work you do for us as a sub-contractor (once you have passed the course and are signed off as competent to assist on surveys by one of our consultants). Our course fees for 2019 are £250+VAT. This includes all materials and refreshments and excludes travel and accommodation.
Our ASSET ecology training course length varies depending on which course we have running. Past courses have been either 4 or 5 days. Check our course details page for information on courses that are currently available.
ASSET will teach you the skills needed to become a competent sub-contractor so that you will be able to gain more experience by working alongside an ecological consultant. Many of our ASSET attendees have aquired full-time jobs in the ecology industry. 2 now work full time for us, and many also work with us as sub-contractors.
Past ASSET courses have included field exercises and surveys where you get to practice the skills you have learnt in the classroom. Future courses may have different formats but we try to include practical experience whenever possible.
Yes, we welcome everyone. We have attendees from all walks of life and from many different professions. Some have always wanted a career in ecology and find this the perfect way to gain experience and potentially help them find a job. Others want a change in career and find ASSET to be a great introduction into the industry.
