Environmental Assessment
Local, national and global concern about the environment has been increasing rapidly over recent decades, and as a result, there has been a booming demand for environmental assessments.
Skilled Environmental Assessors are in high demand.
Unfortunately though, many graduates from environmental courses lack the ability to conduct a proper environmental assessment.
Having graduated from a diploma or degree (eg. in Environmental Science, Biology, Horticulture, Veterinary Science or Agriculture) may provide a sound basis for working as an environmental assessor; but it is likely to also lack a key component in your education.
Our Environmental Assessment Course is designed to fill this gap, take a look here.
We also have some special offers in environmental courses here.
