Qualiteach Education & Ecology Training delivers training for professional ecologists and for beginners in the field. We believe in fostering curiosity in the natural environment; nurturing enquiring minds and supporting people to reach their potential. Learning about the natural world engenders an understanding and respect for habitats, threats and conservation. Personal development through updating, improving or learning new skills is an important step towards becoming part of a wider network, dedicated to conserving our wildlife and helping to prevent further extinctions. We provide online botanical and ecological training courses for individuals, education centres (schools, colleges and universities), conservation volunteers, professionals and graduates throughout the UK (online and taught). Part of our professional training includes delivering one and two day courses for CIEEM. We also deliver illustrated talks to community groups, organisations and societies within and around Cheshire, Shropshire and North Wales and provide advice to schools on how to deliver fun and informative talks to encourage Learning Outside the Classroom. We conduct botanical and habitat surveys for domestic, commercial and conservation sectors and specialise in ponds, indicator vegetation and water quality.  We also provide training in marine mammal identification and ecology.
