New Course Dates
Finally we are able to publish new course dates for BLTC. Apologies for the delay, and thanks for your patience. A busy bat season, 9 weeks without broadband (Thanks BT), and a house move have all contributed to the delay!
We have now completed BLTC 1 & 2, with BLTC 3 and an in-house course for Mott Macdonald are both part way through.
Each course runs in two parts - both of which must be attended as a pair.
Dates for 2009-10
BLTC 4. 13-17 December 2009 (N. Wales) and 23-27 May 2010 (S.Wales)
BLTC 5. 25-28 February 2010 (N.Wales, 3 nights only) and 13-17 June (Bristol)
BLTC 6. 7-11 March (N.Wales) and 8-12 August (Bristol)
BLTC 7. 21-25 November and TBC.
Application forms and further information will be sent out to those who have already requested them over the next 7-10 days. Any new requests for information should be sent to pat(at)battraining.co.uk [replace (at) with @].
Or see Richard Crompton at the BCT National Bat Conference in York this weekend!

BLTC fully booked, but new course dates being investigated for 2009-10!
The last few places on the existing scheduled course programme for 2009 have now been booked, although we can accept one or two names in reserve in the unlikely event of cancellations.
However, we are making enquiries to run a further programme with field course dates in December 2009 and May 2010. Please email expressions of interest and check the blog for updates!

Bat Licence Training Course
Welcome to the Blog site for the Bat Licence Training Course for professional ecologists. Co-written and presented by Dr Sandie Sowler and Richard Crompton.
This course has been prepared to address the difficulty many professional ecologists have obtaining licence training through local bat groups, many of whom are unable or unwilling to offer training to those intending to use their bat licences for commercial purposes.
The training is based on two key elements; a training diary or log of experience, and two residential field courses - one during the colder months of the year and one during the bats' active season. Sign-off for a licence is at the strict discretion of the trainers (both of whom hold training licences for Natural England and the Countryside Counci for Wales), and follows an assessment and a review of training diaries.
This Blog will be used to post course dates and availability.
