Each week, there is one 30 minute live session with course tutor Caspian Jamie. During this session, we cover key concepts and vocabulary from the upcoming week. This session is recorded and students do not need to attend the session live. They are able to catch up in their own time. Students may join the session without their camera and microphone on.
Each week, there are a further 2-3 short pre-recorded videos to access in your own time via the learning platform and activities to complete with evidence that can be uploaded into your Google folder as you build your portfolio. There are no live sessions or learning during half-terms and holidays however there are extension activities that can be accessed during these times. We explore a themed Celebration Day each month such as World Animal Day and World Soil Day. There are a range of ways to celebrate these days with a variety of activities that support individuals to contribute to the wider community.
The Level 1 Award in Conservation is supported by a range of Guest Speakers - from a Welcome Video from Chris Packham, Conservationist and Campaigner to Q&As with Conservation Expert Dr Jackie Symmons, from a Virtual Field Trip with CompostIt! to talks led by those in various employment opportunities in Conservation.

Each month has a range of extension and alternative activities so if an activity doesn't suit you, you have plenty of options to swap it for an alternative or extend your learning.
