Training Courses

Our training courses are for everyone, from interested individuals, to conservationists and ecological consultants, who want to develop their knowledge, field skills and experience for personal interest or professional development. From species introduction courses, to practical field-craft weekends, mammal identification and survey techniques, we focus on ecology & biology, law, technical skills, handling & surveying. We can also arrange bespoke courses for groups. For more information email training@themammalsociety.org.

For the one day courses, please bring a packed lunch and suitable clothes. Tea and coffee will be provided.

For more conservation jobs and courses please see environmentjob.co.uk. Our courses are also listed on countryside-jobs.com. 

Meet our trainers here. We are always looking for new trainers, if you think you have what it takes email using the email address below. If you are a trainer and you have a course you would like us to run please complete this form.  

For any further information or if you are interested in a mammal related subject we don’t already cover, please contact our training officer Rose Toney at training@themammalsociety.org or 02380010984

PLEASE NOTE: Due to Covid-19, we have taken the decision to postpone all training opportunities until October. We apologise for the inconvenience and hope to return to a full training programme in 2021.
