I would like to put in a plug for the course I just completed at Wentworth Falls TAFE, Conservation and Land Management: Natural Area Restoration Certificate II, this was a FANTASTIC course and has quite literally changed my life.
Duration - Full time is three days/week for 1/2 year
Enrolment day - Friday 1st February or Monday Monday 4th February 1pm - 7pm Blue Mountains College, Mitchell St, Wentworth Falls.
About the course : This course is designed as an introduction to Environmental Studies focusing particularly on principles of bush regeneration and conservation, weed control, botany, seed collection and fauna studies. It is an all encompassing, fascinating and vocational course. Anyone who has done the course and has wanted work has got it. Anyone who has an interest in their natural environment or wants to work within the industry should do this course. There is also a focus on conservation issues specific to the Blue Mountains that are addressed theoretically and practically in the field.
'I got a job in the industry before I even finished the course, it has opened my eyes to my world and quite literally changed my life. The passion, knowledge and dedication of the staff is really remarkable...everyone should do this course!' - Helen Deane
Many of the students including myself want to continue on to the Cert III level, but we don't have the numbers for next semester, so we need more students to enrol first semester this year in the Cert II level, so that more of us can continue on! This is Bush Regeneration and Environmental Management and really should be compulsory for everyone in the Mountains (hehe, maybe a slight exaggeration, but not by much)!
