Another Successful Working with Wildlife course!!!

The Working with Wildlife team have just returned from Queensland where they conducted a 2 day Catch & Relocate Venomous Snakes - Remote Regions course for North Goonyella Coal Mine.

Check out the feedback!! - 

Good Afternoon,

A big thank you must go out to you and your people. I have asked most people that attended the course last week and they have nothing but praise for you.

“Awesome”
“Amazing”
“Best ever”

Makes me want to attend myself. When they speak of the day they are animated and I can see they enjoyed themselves immensely. Thank you.

Regards

Caroline Miles

It is fantastic to receive feedback like this - the goal of Working with Wildlife courses is to make the work environment a safer place by teaching people about snakes and their behaviour when they come into contact with people, but it is just that little more satisfying when people thoroughly enjoy what is being shown to them - shouldn't that be the purpose of any training course that you send your staff to - educational and enjoyable?

Is it worth considering a Working with Wildlife training course for your staff?

Readers of this blog that are interested in the Working with Wildlife Online Snake Awareness Course will be pleased to know that there have been a number of enhancements made to the course after feedback we have received from participants.

Among other things, you now get two chances to successfully complete the course!!! We added this functionality because there is so much information available through the course that it may take a couple of runs through it to absorb all the information it provides.

Give it a try - it is a fantastic course if you want to learn about snakes and their behaviour when they come into contact with people - we are sure that you will thoroughly enjoy it and have a much better understanding of snakes and their behaviour once you have completed it.

Want To Make A Real Difference?

People who have been to Working with Wildlife presentations, or read the information available on our website, will know that one of our goals is to help people get a better understanding of our environment and surroundings.

A great part of this business is that you get to meet people who have a similar mindset.

It is through meeting these likeminded people that we have recently been made aware of a competition that is being held in South Australia, called the Zero Carbon Challenge.

The competition involves builders who have been set the challenge to build a Zero Carbon Home.

There are 4 finalists left in the competition and Working with Wildlife's vote is going to Energy Aspect Living. This group is passionate about making a real difference in how homes are designed and built to reduce your carbon footprint.

They have set up a website called Zero Carbon Home where you can read about the Challenge.

Now, here's how you can make a difference!!!! As part of the Challenge, a Facebook Page has been set up where you can vote for the builder you think should win - we would encourage anyone who wants to make a real difference in how homes are built in the future to vote for Team Energy Aspect Living - they are second on the list.

Good luck Energy Aspect Living - you definitely have our vote!!

Buying the Working with Wildlife e-Book just got easier!!!

People familiar with Working with Wildlife training resources will be aware of our e-Book - Snakes & Us - A Sensible Perspective.

We have been receiving feedback from customers asking if the e-Book could be more easily accessed as it tends to get "lost" amongst all the other equipment we have for sale in our shop.

We listened - the e-Book now has its own webpage where you can purchase it with as few as two clicks!!!!

If you have attended one of our awareness sessions and would like something to use as a "ready reference" for the information provided at these sessions, then our e-Book is the perfect choice.

Even if you haven't attended one of our awareness sessions or training courses and you're just curious about the information Working with Wildlife provides when presenting, our e-Book will give you a very good idea about what you will learn from our training.

We hope you enjoy the book and look forward to any feedback or questions you might have after reading it.

The Online Training Course Access Just Got Easier!!!

Long time readers of this blog are aware of our Online Snake Awareness Course where you can learn about snakes, their behaviour when they come into contact with people and things you can do to reduce the chances of being bitten by one through the courses we have available on the Net.

We have received feedback that getting access to the course is a bit of a hassle - emails and logins going back and forth to enrol when people just wanted to buy it and start the modules.

We're listening - you can now buy the online course direct from our webpage!!!!

Simply click the Buy Now button and complete the purchase via PayPal or by using your debit or credit card.

Once payment has been received your login details will be emailed to you and off you go!!!

If you run a business, there is a link under the Buy Now button to generate an email enquiry to us - you can pay full price for the course directly from the website if you like, but bulk enrolment discounts apply, so isn't it worth asking if you are eligible for a discount when you have numerous people that you need to enrol?

Thanks go out again to the team at Lumient - once again they listened to our requirements and provided us with a solution quickly and professionally.

To all those people who have asked for quicker access to course enrolment, there you are - and good luck with the course!!!!
