Big 5 Course

The lion, leopard, elephant, African buffalo and rhinoceros are all closely examined in this short course. Each species is explored in terms of their classification, vital statistics, habitat, social structure, feeding behaviour, reproduction, general ecology and conservation status. These 6 components are derived directly from our Field Guiding/Game Ranging Course.

Delivery and assessment of ONLINE courses

All course content is available online but may also be downloaded in PDF format (and easily printed) so you don’t have to be online to study. All assessment is delivered entirely online and is automated. The assessment which we’ve called “take the test” (top right in each component) consists of between 10 and 30 true/false and multiple-choice questions. There is one test for each of the components of a course. Students may attempt these tests as many times as required until they have achieved the passing mark. Once a test is passed, it cannot be taken again.
