Participants should be aware that these courses aim at educating them. The courses have a set curriculum and cover a variety of topics introduced in English.

A number of theoretical and practical examinations, as well as presentations in English, are part of the learning experience and can be challenging for non-native speakers. Please note that the courses are not simply safari excursions but require effort.

But if you are interested and also willing to learn something completely new, the challenges and tasks will be manageable for you. You should not get discouraged – feel free to contact us so we can discuss the detailed learning plan and explain the general procedures for the courses.
