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.
