Try these for starters.

 

Training - Bat Conservation Trust

Training and Events IntroductionAAAC Enquiry Form

 

 

Local bat groups are a good place to start also, usually friendly and willing to pass on some info or provide training days for a small charge. I am a licensed bat worker and have attended numerous courses over the years. It all depends on what kind of course your mate is looking for, but feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions.

Unfortunately bat people are very narrow minded and you will really struggle to get a bat trainer as arborists are regarded as bat killers ! in there eyes.

 

If you are lucky enough to find a trainer you will then be required to train for at least 2 years so you experience work of the differing life cycles of bats.

 

The short courses esp the AA one is a bit of a con as it doesnt teach you anything that you cant learn off Bat Conservation Trust . the course also does give you a ticket to check inside tree cavities etc and many who have done the course were under the impression they could and unfortunatly have been dreaking the habitat laws....
