Hi all,

I am looking for a course (preferably online course or somewhere in Scotland) that would set me up well for educating people about conservation. Especially young people.

This is basically my job already, I lead a team that gives guided tours and talks in Edinburgh Zoo (very conservation-orientated) but I would like a way to take this aspect of my work further, and a qualification could be just the thing. I'd rather not leave my job but would happily go part-time to further my career.

My academic background is 2:1 in psychology, but I did focus on comparative (evolutionary/animal) psychology and have been doing conservation-related work for almost 2 years now.

Is there any route that could be directly supported by my psych background? Would I be better going for a qualification in education rather than conservation?

Any help or tips much appreciated, my course search is in its very early stages so all thoughts are useful.

Thanks in advance to any respondents!
Regards, Arren
