We have no places left on BLTC courses in 2010, but bookings are now been taken for BLTC 8 and 9 starting in 2011. Contact Pat for dates and details.
Don't forget that applicants need relevant experience which needs to be signed for by a licensed batworker. We recommend as much experience accompanying other licensed people as possible. Keep a log of your experience and get it signed at the time to save chasing signatures later!

Welcome to the BLTC blog
Welcome to the Blog site for the Bat Licence Training Course for professional ecologists. Co-written and taught by Dr Sandie Sowler, MCIEEM, FLS and Richard Crompton, CEnv, MCIEEM, FLS. The course is provided by the Bat TRaining Partnership (http://www.battraining.co.uk/) and facilitated by Richard Crompton Limited.
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 Council for Wales), and follows an assessment and a review of training diaries.
