Which is the best course for you?
We offer two levels of the course – Foundation and Intermediate – with Advanced level, featuring bespoke content, available on request.
Our Foundation level is suitable for delegates with little previous experience of wayleaves and our Intermediate level is suitable for delegates seeking to enhance their existing knowledge and experience relating to wayleaves.
What you’ll achieve at the end of the course
Delegates, with prior experience or without, will enhance their understanding and competency in dealing with wayleave issues and developing working relationships with clients and other stakeholders, enabling them to fulfil their job role efficiently and effectively.
How is the course delivered?
We offer our course face-to-face (residentially) and also online (live delivery including a virtual farm visit). A hybrid of face-to-face and online delivery is also available.
We adopt a blended learning approach, combining lecture-delivered theory with discussion of real-life examples and farm visits (physically or remotely), to promote understanding of and engagement with course content amongst delegates.
