We are professionally qualified to offer training services:
Clare O'Reilly is a trained teacher (PGCE) for adult (FE & HE) education and a Field Studies Council (FSC) associate tutor; and John O'Reilly is a qualified geography teacher. It makes a difference to your learning: read our student testimonials!
"Clare is an excellent tutor. We had clear objectives, which we acheived, and she persisted with our difficulties until we had all learnt / seen what we needed to. Few FSC courses I have been on have been as good." Amanda Morgan, University of Birmingham student on the Certificate in Biological Recording
Our courses are learner-centered, using innovative teaching techniques that are informal and fun, but also challenging, to ensure you meet your goals. We teach students, not subjects.
We provide ecology training courses for a huge variety of clients, ranging from Natural England, IEEM, RSPB, the Wildlife Trusts, and 5 universities, to other ecological consultancies.
We also offer educational consultancy services for the environmental sector, including bespoke curricula design and accreditation research.
This 2-day course is the only professional training course in the UK specifically focussed on Phase 1 habitat indicator species in these plant groups. It was developed for IEEM in 2005 and this year, again, has been massively over subscribed. Why not commission PTYXIS to run an in-house course, tailored to your staff requirements?

PTYXIS is providing training sessions for this 5 year Heritage Lottery funded project, which aims to engage local people in learning about biodiversity. We are introducing Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats to new audiences via a mix of species identification and interpretation on guided walks.
