What Level of UKHab Training is this course?
Advanced
Who is this course suitable for?
Practitioners who have completed the UKHab Intermediate training courses and wish to extend their knowledge of the range of UKHab habitats, the habitat types used in the Statutory Biodiversity Metric and the relationship between the systems.
Do I need to have used UKHab already?
Yes. Participants will have some experience of using UKHab and extracting data into the Biodiversity Metric.
What does the course cover?
An extensive range of UKHab primary and secondary codes will be covered, with the focus on identification and differentiation of categories that are sometimes confused. The relationship between all Biodiversity metric habitats, with the exception of intertidal and lake types, and the equivalent UKHab habitats will be described. The course gives the opportunity to explore the nuances of habitat identification and mapping in more detail than on other UKHab courses.
Please read our Terms and Conditions for courses.
All courses are held “live” online unless stated as field courses.
Online courses are held for two 3-hour sessions on successive mornings (10.00-13.00) unless otherwise stated. Participants in the two-morning courses are also asked to complete an hour’s task between the two sessions.
Field courses are normally held on a single day from 10:00 to 16:30. Meeting place details are provided after booking.
Course Levels
Beginners’ courses are suitable for people with no or very little previous experience of habitat survey, including students, new graduates, citizen science participants and environmental consultants returning or switching from other disciplines.
Intermediate courses are suitable for people with some knowledge or experience of habitat survey in other habitat classfications such as Phase 1 Survey. No previous UKHab experience is required, but individuals with a little UKHab experience often choose this level to improve their skills.
Advanced courses are suitable for more experienced professionals with at least a few years experience of habitat survey and wishing to extend skill sets using UKHab in ecological professional practice. An intermediate UKHab course should have been completed first.
Learning objectives for each course are available on the UKHab website.
