Field Assistant Training (FAT) Program
Management/leadership - Level 1 ($150.00 USD/person)
The field of biological sciences and ecology is constantly changing and expanding. Most of the theoretical and academic skills required to study flora and fauna species are acquired while at college or university. However, colleges and universities rarely teach about how to apply the theoretical skills to the practical field situation and how to work with other people. This uniquely designed course has been specifically tailored toward acquiring the skills and techniques which will effectively help you to deal with people, learn how to communicate and provide management and leadership tools essential to your success. Whatever career path you have laid out you will find the skills and techniques helpful for any situation. An excellent video is now available on the FAT Program and you may order it directly via email or mail.
