Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book my place?
To help us plan our teaching we ask that students book their place on their chosen course at least three months ahead of the start date. Enrolment is available up to two weeks before the course starts, however if a course has a low enrolment rate it risks being moved or cancelled, so the sooner you secure your place the better.
How do I sign up for a course?
You can register your interest and book your space on our courses by emailing our tutors.
wildertraining@suffolkwildlifetrust.org
Following your enquiry you will be sent a booking form to fill out all necessary details for your enrolment. Once our tutors have received your completed booking form you will receive an invoice for your course, payable within 28 days.
Can I pay for my course in instalments?
Yes, instalment payments can be arranged on a case-by-case basis through emailing our tutors.
Otherwise once we have received your completed booking form you will receive an invoice for the full amount of your course, payable before the start date.
