About the Level 3 Conservation Certificate
As the earth's population increases, the human race is using more and more materials. This is why conservation is more important than ever. In order to protect the planet and limit the damage we are causing to the environment, we must learn to preserve our resources. The Level 3 Conservation certificate aims to equip students with the awareness, knowledge and skills they need to make positive change in the world.
During the course of their studies, students will undertake eight separate modules. Each unit outlines a different factor affecting the environment and summarises ways to combat environmental damage. Students will cover topics such as deforestation, pollution, water and soil, fisheries management and marine conservation.

Level 3 Conservation Certificate of Achievement
The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that learndirect has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.
The course itself has been designed learndirect to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.
The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.
