You want to work on a building that is home to a colony of bats. Navigating the legal protections surrounding bats and their roosts in buildings can be tricky, that's why our built environment experts have developed this course.
We will help you to develop skills to identify potential bat roosts and the confidence to know how to proceed in difficult scenarios you may encounter. Our experts will walk you through bat ecology and bat life cycles, and how this relates to building works, and the latest guidance and legal information that building professionals need to know when working alongside bats.
This course is open to anyone, but designed to be particularly beneficial to those working in the construction industry. Including builders, surveyors, architects, pest controllers and more. It is approved by CITB and eligible for a Tier 1 grant. The course is also suitable as RIBA CPD.
The online course takes place over 2 afternoons sessions between 13:30-17:00.
NB This course was formerly called Bats for Building Professionals
