Wildlife Course 4
April 11 @ 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Our Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release courses are suitable for anyone over the age of 18, regardless of their standard or experience, who has an interest in wildlife. If you know someone under 18 who would like to attend, this may be possible if they are accompanied by a paying adult. Please email Learning@secretworld.org for more information.
These four courses are run virtually (online using Zoom) as half-day (four-hour) events. It is possible to attend the courses live online on the day or as a recorded presentation, which will be sent to ticket holders and accessible for a limited time after the course. To ensure the best experience for all delegates, we ask that everyone attends Course 1 before booking on to Courses 2, 3, or 4.
After attending all four courses online, you will be invited to attend a practical session to support your learning. This will be advertised on our website and is usually run in April at a cost of £75 (with concessionary rates available) for the whole day. Those attending all four online courses and the practical day will receive the SWWR Certificate in Wildlife Rehabilitation and Release and a badge. Those attending just the online courses will receive an electronic certificate for each course.
As an extra incentive, those attending any of the online courses will also receive a voucher for £10 off the SWWR ‘Introduction to Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation’ book, published January 2022 (one voucher redeemable per book purchased). Explore your passion for wildlife by checking out the dates and course details below and booking your place today.
