Inside this course · Your tutor
What is the difference between a threatened species and an endangered species under Australian law?
Good question. Under the EPBC Act, threatened species is the broad category that includes several levels of risk. Endangered is one of those levels, sitting between vulnerable (lower risk) and critically endangered (highest risk). The listing determines what legal protections apply and what recovery actions get funded. Want me to walk through how a species gets assessed and listed?

Set up a plant styling business, and maintain it too

The content was clear and practical — including the set-up of a plant styling business, and ongoing maintenance too.

The first weeks are the foundation, not a warm-up

The first weeks in the home are not a warm-up phase, they are the foundation. The guidance we give owners during this window can prevent months of remedial work later, making early intervention one of the most powerful tools we have as trainers.

You are already working at a senior level in conservation and need advanced research methods

14-Day Money-Back Guarantee.

Try the full course for two weeks. If it is not for you, we refund you in full. No questions asked, no conditions.

More from students

“I love that it has different ways to learn! I'll keep learning about each flower's conditioning needs — I feel I've learnt so much already.”

Tammie O. · Verified student

“Very informative, and I like the focus on clients. It's better to give advice in small segments — just as we do with our dogs. Small steps.”

John H. · Verified student

“Real world responses — wow. The laws, and what it means to run a facility, is an eye opener. Even the less-common-pets section was eye opening — rabbits are illegal to keep as pets here in Queensland!”

Common Questions.

Who is this course designed for?+

Do I need any prior experience or qualifications to start?+
No prior experience is needed. The course starts with foundational lessons covering how biodiversity works and what conservation actually involves, then builds progressively toward more applied topics. If you already have some background in environmental science, you can move through the early lessons quickly and focus on the areas most relevant to you.

What certificate will I receive, and is it recognised?+
You receive a Certificate of Completion issued by Modern Education Australia. The course is ICOES-accredited (International Council for Online Educational Standards) and CPD-eligible, meaning the certificate is independently verified and can be added to your resume or used for professional development. This is not a nationally recognised qualification under the Australian Qualifications Framework, and it does not register or licence you to practise in any regulated role.
