Online Environmental Training for a Sustainable Future

Why learn with us

Taught by people who've spent their careers on the riverbank

From salmon leaping in fast-flowing rivers to the smallest macroinvertebrate under a stone, our courses are built on decades of first-hand fieldwork across Ireland's rivers and catchments — not theory from a textbook.

What you'll learn

A complete course on river catchments

Modules cover the full range of aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna across bogs, wetlands, lakes, and rivers — biodiversity, sources and impacts of pollution, assessing water quality through macroinvertebrates, water quality sampling, and mitigation and enhancement techniques. Built for every part of the community, from citizen volunteer groups to farmers.

How it's delivered

Flexible, self-paced, in the field

We know your time is valuable, so courses are designed for flexible, self-paced learning — HD video and expert-written content covering the topics you choose to study, with progress saved as you go. Delivered by expert presenters, shot on location, not in a studio.

See the quality for yourself

This is what our courses look like

No stock footage, no studio — every course is filmed on location, on the same rivers and catchments you'll be learning about.
