Our ASDAN Environmental Studies Short Course is a calm, inspiring programme developed in partnership with The Wildlife Trust.
Through 50+ pre-recorded lessons, learners explore how our environment works — from the atmosphere and climate to wildlife, habitats and human impact — while building a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
The course is completely self-paced, with no deadlines and full access to all PowerPoint slides, worksheets and supporting resources. Learners can also join optional weekly Zoom troubleshooting sessions (camera/mic optional) to ask questions and receive extra guidance.
On completion, learners receive supportive moderation and an official ASDAN certificate to celebrate their achievement.
