Conservation Standards Training
We offer three training pathways to learn the Conservation Standards, the premier framework for conservation planning.
- Self-Paced Course: Watch training videos and practice each step of the action planning process to a case study from Africa. Work at your own pace, and get quick responses to emailed questions from a NaturePlan coach. Ideal for those with no experience in conservation planning or who seek greater learning flexibility.
- Coach-Led Course: Work with a coach-led team to create the beginnings of an action plan for a real project using the Conservation Standards framework. Ideal for those with no experience with the Conservation Standards and those who are seeking a refresher course.
- Private Team Training: Schedule a customized virtual or on-site training for your team or organization. You may substitute your project in place of a case study. Ideal for teams who intend to create a strategic plan based on the Conservation Standards but need training first.
Courses primarily focus on Steps 1 and 2 (Assess, Plan) of the Conservation Standards project management cycle.
