This online course was great and has provided a solid foundation of knowledge that should give me a good head start when I come out to South Africa to do the FGASA course in person with Bushwise.

This program is the best thing I have ever done in my life. Bushwise was the best option to choose, on my behalf I would like to thank Bushwise for fulfilling people's passion for nature and also giving them the experience to become what they want and giving them so much knowledge of nature. I'm not going to lie it is a lot of work to study but its very interesting to you want to learn more, everything is almost served on a platter for you all you need to do is put your time to study the work trust me it will benefit you at the end of the day.

To future students, from all the places I could've chosen, I am ecstatic that I ended up choosing Bushwise as they are exactly what is looked for and needed. When it not only comes to the materials given to better your knowledge and other skills but when it comes to the support and teachers.

I really enjoyed the course. It was interesting and nice to interact with others who have a similar interest.

Overall this course was amazing I have learned so much and gained so much knowledge, the only thing I would like is one lesson on each subject per week so people can fully understand the subject matter. It would also be amazing if a live game drive or walk would be possible so we can start putting what we have learned through the weeks into practice, especially with animal and plant identification.

It’s been an absolutely great time and a super introduction to all the different aspects of becoming a field guide. Although it was “only” an online course it’s been fun to interact with the trainers and students via Zoom and the discussions in Canvas.

A wonderful course filled with loads of information, all set out in an easy to follow sequence. It built on my already existing knowledge and taught me many new things. The discussion topics were interesting and insightful and left one feeling as if we understood the world at a greater level.

This is hands down the best online nature-related course I have taken. In the past, I have studied Wildlife management and Game ranch management online with South African institutions but this one has been the most interesting and engaging course not just in terms of content but engagement. I would highly recommend it to those with an interest in Nature.

I thought I had average knowledge about nature but very soon realised this was not the case and that I have lots to learn. The course is very insightful and I learned so much. I loved meeting students from all over the world. The student discussions were so interesting and taught me to look a little deeper into nature. I will recommend this course to anybody curious about nature and wants to learn more. It changed my whole perspective on nature and I can’t wait to delve deeper into mother nature.

I loved this course – was very informative and helpful. Before the course I found it all to be very overwhelming, but as we say you eat an elephant one bite at a time and this was the perfect way to eat my elephant. The topics were so helpful, broke things down simply which helped me and now at the end of it I am not worried about continuing my studies as I have such a better understanding over it all.

I have followed this amazing online course. It’s definitely a good way to dive into South Africa ecology and biodiversity. I learned tremendous things and expanded my knowledge. I highly recommend this course – the team is incredible. Every expert is supportive and passionate.
