Course in Conservation Volunteer Management

Conservation Volunteers is a Registered Training Organisation offering a number of training programs specific to the conservation industry.

Conservation Volunteers with the support of Rio Tinto has developed a nationally accredited course that addresses key issues in field-based volunteer management, including safety processes, site supervision and the motivation and management of volunteers.

Who should do the course?
Managers, supervisors and team leaders with responsibilities for managing teams of people working in conservation will benefit from this training course. Participants in the course may be working for a Catchment Management Authority or other regional body, local authority or for a Landcare or another local community environmental group.

The course has four core units of competency and one elective.

The Course in Conservation Volunteer Management involves approximately 300 hours. However students are able to apply for recognition of current competency. Conservation Volunteers has a flexible approach to delivering this course. A combination of attending training sessions and on-line learning will generally be adopted. However depending on the demand Conservation Volunteers will negotiate the training mode with students, organisations and groups.

At the completion of the course students will be awarded a certificate in the Course in Conservation Volunteer Management as well as a Statement of Attainment. Units of competency completed can be articulated into other courses eg Certificate IV or Diploma in Conservation and Land Management.

Conservation Volunteers delivers the course to groups and also delivers through online learning.
