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!!!!

Another Successful Presentation

With the weather starting to warm up again there has been an increase in snake sightings throughout Australia and the need for snake handling and awareness training is again on the increase.

The Working with Wildlife team has recently completed another successful 3 day Catch & Relocate Venomous Snakes course, this time with staff from Parks, Conservation and Lands in the A.C.T.

The Canberra Times did an article whilst we were up there, where Parks A.C.T. staff and Julian Craig from Working with Wildlife were interviewed on the subject of snakes, things you can do to discourage snakes from coming onto your property and ways to reduce the chances of being bitten by a snake if you happen to come into contact with one - have a read of the article via this link.

Thank you to all the staff at Parks A.C.T. - it is always a pleasure conducting courses for people who are keen to learn correct snake handling and relocation techniques.

For anyone who may come into contact with snakes now that the weather is beginning to warm up, please take a moment to have a look at the Working with Wildlife website - with the various handling courses, awareness sessions and equipment we have available, you will find everything you need to be better prepared for an increase in snakes in your area.

It's Starting To Warm Up Again!!!

I have just been reading this article where a 17 year old appears to have been bitten by a brown snake while walking in bushland.

The weather is starting to warm up again, so now is a good time to remind everyone about the services that Working with Wildlife can provide.

Whether it be "in person" training and awareness sessions, catching and first aid equipment, or something as simple as an e-Book, or online training course to get a better understanding of snakes and their behaviour, it is worth considering having a look at the Working with Wildlife website to see what we have to offer.

Remember, it has been a relatively wet winter throughout Australia this year, so there is more undergrowth around and as the weather warms up, this means there are more places for snakes to hide.

If nothing else, make sure you download a Snake Bite First Aid Instruction Sheet to keep in your car - hopefully you will never have to use it, but it is handy to know that it is in the glovebox just in case you, or someone you know, is unfortunate enough to be bitten by a snake.
