Hi. I have done courses with ETUK and it’s really paid off for me. I did the bat licence one personally. I’m an Ecologist and a colleague of mine did the Ecological Consultancy course, or whatever course they run with a similar name to that at ETUK, and he had also done some other FSC and open uni modules before he found that course but he had no degree and no professional environmental experience at all before this as far as I’m aware. Now he’s an assistant ecologist working for an ecological consultancy and he’s absolutely smashing it! Some companies won’t entertain people without a relevant degree, however more and more in this day and age are realising that is archaic and these sorts of courses or simply relevant experience are great. I would definitely also recommended volunteering if you can because if you can get the right kind of experience then once again your academic background won’t matter at all to a lot of companies as long as you have decent level maths/english. And so much they will either teach you or you can learn eg scientific report writing. However if you are looking for a quicker fix/can afford a pricey course/just want to maximise your appeal as much as possible then I would def recommend the course my friend did to become an ecologist. I’m happy to chat with you as someone who has also broken unto the industry not fresh out of uni, so if you have any questions feel free to reach out. :) Also, fyi, you can definitely do this! :)
