With a heavy focus on sustainability and conservation, our online environmental courses include wildlife conservation and management, conservation and environmental management, ecology, environmental waste management, parks management, land care, zoology, flood mitigation, fresh water management and earth sciences.

Why study environmental courses?

Learn ways of developing sustainable strategies and resolving environmental issues. The course also covers physical aspects of the environment and emphasises ways of conserving biodiversity. Our online environmental courses range from practical, hands-on wildlife care, land management and freshwater management, to more theoretical earth sciences and important aspects of zoology and biology. Studying environmental courses online to suit your own schedule with our one-on-one tutor support can update your skills for your current job or volunteer role, or alternatively, can give you the opportunity to test your area of interest in a user-friendly, supportive environment before you commit to further tertiary education.

Do I need prior experience before I start?

No, our online environmental courses assume no prior knowledge and are designed as a practical guide to help you learn. If you elect to study a 100-hour online course, you will be supported by your tutor as you progress through your studies. Our short courses are designed to self-assess your knowledge and provide a certificate of completion at the end.

Course format and duration

Online courses (tutor-supported)

One month full-time or up to 12 months part-time

Each tutor-driven online course takes approximately 100 hours of study applied flexibly over a 12-month period. This means you can tailor your study around your lifestyle, with a minimum part-time requirement of two hours of online study per week over the year, or you can fast-track your science career by completing your course within a month or so of full-time study.

Each lesson requires you to submit a written assessment to your tutor for feedback, enhancing your learning experience by verifying your ongoing engagement with the course materials. This ensures you are not tempted to skip over a lesson that could provide vital knowledge in your field of study. There are also non-assessable, self-assessment quizzes for each lesson to help test your knowledge. This means that by the end of the course you will have really engaged with the course materials, which we know equals learning!

Short courses (self-directed)

Our short courses offer excellent value for money and an introduction into your field of study. They are self-directed learning packages, which means they don’t offer the same tutor-support as our online courses but can offer greater flexibility and economy while still providing you with the desired learning outcomes and a certificate of completion at the end of your study.

Who are the tutors?

You will get a one-on-one tutor who 100-hour online science courses. You will be supported every step of the way. When you enrol you will receive a welcome email from your tutor. You are free to email them for help or guidance as much as you need to. We employ tutors who are active in their field, so the support is by email.

Accreditation and Recognition

All our courses are proudly recognised by International Accreditation & Recognition Council (IARC), a premier non-government recognition body.  The IARC ensures member institutes meet premium standards, quality and consistency in their course provision in Commonwealth and Pacific nations.
