hi all, it looks like i will be starting a new job which involves me working away all week so i thought it would give me some time in the evenings to study. i looked around for herpetology courses (just for my own interest..not work) but couldnt really find any. i found a 2 part course that involved going away for a weekend at a time to complete the course but with the new job i will have to be in london for 7 in the morning on a monday and i live in nottinghamshire! can anyone recommend any good herpetology courses that i could start studying in my spare time? any prices, locations? any help is appreciated

I'm partway through Proteus Reptile Trust's Foundation Course in Herpetology at the moment (I'm doing the correspondance version as getting to Dudley isn't easy for me)

Here's their website address if you want to check it out: Reptile rehoming, reptile charity, gifts for reptile lovers

Note their change of address. You need to use the contact details on their homepage, not their contacts page.

Feel free to PM me if you want to know any more


Compass Education also seem to do a distance learning course in Herpetology. I don't know anything about this one but you might want to check it out: Compass Education and Training Use the 'search' option on the menu on the left and type in 'herpetology'

Hi,

The following do a distant learning course that is 100% home based.

Compass Education and Training

I have started it, alot of self research but all the same still quite good as there is not much out there on Herpetology courses.

Thanks.

Roger.

I'm exactly the same Leogirl, lol.

JAM3S the proteus one does a correspondance version of some of their courses so you can do them by post, that's what I'm doing at the moment, as getting to them is not impossible but pretty tricky for me.

im doing that compass one too its good i always end up wanting the animals im learning about too lol

The proteus course is normally done at home, not on the weekends. I spoke to JudoRyan he works there, great bloke, he'll set you right
