PARTNER WITH US TO TRANFORM CONSERVATION TRAINING
THE GROWING NEED FOR CONSERVATION TRAINING
There is a growing need for practical, skill-based training to effectively address complex conservation challenges. Join WildTeam in a groundbreaking initiative designed to revolutionise conservation training. We invite university lecturers and professional trainers to access and adapt our high-quality, open-source class-based conservation courses, creating a dynamic and impactful learning experience for students worldwide.
HOW IT WORKS
Experience our courses firsthand: Start by enrolling in our online courses at no cost to you. This first step allows you to immerse yourself in the content and understand its practical application.
Access open-source materials: We provide a comprehensive suite of class-based training materials that are entirely open-source. This means you have the freedom to use, adapt, and share these resources to tailor them to your specific educational needs.
Ongoing support and collaboration: Join our supportive network of conservation educators, benefiting from expert advice and sharing best practices in our interactive online community meetings.
No funds, no obligations: There is no exchange of funds or contracts and if you decide not to deliver any of the courses after you have explored them then that is totally up to you. Instead we see this approach as a way of us all working together to realise our shared aim of developing highly skilled and ethical conservationists.

Embedding WildTeam’s PPWC course into one of our modules has allowed the students to engage with the strategy development process and then apply what they’ve learnt to a real-world problem set by a local conservation organisation. Through this, the students have also developed sought-after graduate skills, such as problem-solving and critical thinking, for their future careers.
ENHANCED LEARNING TOOLS
Comprehensive online exams: WildTeam offers online exams, enabling your trainees to validate their knowledge and skills.
Recognised certification: Upon successful completion of a course, trainees receive a certification recognized in the conservation field, signifying their proficiency in each skill set.
