Herpetology
Here you can find all the courses, workshops, and guest lectures in our 'Herpetology' program. This series of classes delve deeper into the biological study of reptiles and amphibians. Throughout these lessons, which collectively serve as one comprehensive program, you will learn more about the ecology, anatomy & physiology, reproduction, phylogeny, conservation, and study of herpetofauna.
This program includes both theoretical classes and practical components, such as dissections and fieldwork.
Each part of this category can be taken separately or together, either immediately following each other or over an extended period of time. Upon completion of the entire program, you will receive your certificate in 'Herpetology'.
