“I joined Communications for Conservation Projects in December 2021, and it’s been nothing short of life-changing. That may seem exaggerated, but in fact, it’s entirely true. I joined the course as a follow-on from the Conservation Career Kick-Starter programme, where I firmly cemented that my ‘career compass’ was pointing in the direction of working in the Conservation Communications sector. I used the course to ‘fill the gaps’ in my knowledge and career experience, thanks to the opportunity to study real-world, worked examples of effective communications strategies; and gain access to a professional PR and Communications expert with significant experience. This access to information and knowledge is second to none, and teamed with challenging and engaging tasks where tailored feedback is offered, plus access to a growing community of fellow learners and peers; it made this a much more valuable and bespoke experience than I was expecting.

“Thanks to this course, I have just secured a dream job as Head of Communications for a UK based conservation charity, and I have been able to perform confidently both at work and at interview stage, drawing directly upon my learning from this course!” Kate Stephenson (Kate On Conservation), UK.

“I’m writing to let you know that, after two and a half years of volunteering and taking courses, I’m about to start my first job with a conservation charity! Thanks to my participation in the Communications for Conservation Projects course I’ve just started as Communications Manager at the World Cetacean Alliance. I’m thrilled to be starting my career in wildlife conservation and feel very grateful for your expert advice and support along the way. Thank you!” Miki Tillett, UK, Cohort 1.

“Just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much to you and Lloyd for creating the conservation communications course. I recently secured a job for the Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust as a Marine Stories Ranger … a large part of why they were impressed was because of my participation in the course and the skills it has equipped me with. I know you like to hear feedback, so just wanted to let you know. Thanks again!” Charlie Gill, UK, Cohort 1.

The course provides you with the tools needed to create a communications project and help it reach a wide audience. Susan Dugan, USA, Cohort 1.

Excellent preparation if you are considering a role in communications, but also very helpful if your role is not directly in communication (e.g. conservation scientist) as it will improve your understanding of the communication processes. Sonja Ludwig, UK, Cohort 1.

A really good course to help you understand the lifecycle of a communications or media project. The modules take you from start to finish of the process making it easy to understand! Emily Fox, UK, Cohort 1.

Great course, really well taught, easy to follow and great that you can complete at your own pace. Lloyd’s emails were always open and he was a great support. Would definitely recommend- especially to Zoology graduates like myself, who learnt virtually nothing about communications in their degree, but need to know heaps about it for future jobs- I learnt a lot of really valuable information in this course! Jodie Velarde, UK, Cohort 1.

That the course is very useful and not only for conservation careers, but communication and PR are a fundamental part of many different jobs. Eleonora Rovegno, Italy, Cohort 1.

There is much more to communications than you would think, this course breaks it down and makes things make sense! Cary Googind, Colorado, USA, Cohort 1.

The structure allows you to learn at your own pace and Nick & Lloyd are so supportive, don’t hesitate because you’ve not done anything like it before. Rebecca Salt, UK, Cohort 1.
