Formerly known as the Bat Licence Training Course (BLTC) which has run since 2008, new for 2019 is the evolution of BLTC into COMPLETE BAT TRAINING - a course based programme of training designed to consolidate skills and experience for those with a wide range of backgrounds in bat consultancy including those seeking bat survey licences and those wanting to update and consolidate their bat survey skills.
Places are strictly limited for this specialist training which is based around two compulsory residential field courses that follow a documented programme of pre-course experience with a training log-book of bat work completed, leading to a comprehensive assessment process. The course has been running successfully since 2008, with fantastic feedback, routinely visiting nine venues every year.
The training is based on two key elements:
- A training diary or log of experience, and
- Two residential field courses – one during the colder months of the year and one during the bats’ active season.
Please note that bookings are closed for all courses due to the pandemic for the rest of 2020.
