If you would like to work intensively with vegetation analysis and field botany in the future, the CAS certificate course of the same name is probably ideal for you. Do you have a university degree or comparable training? Do you have sound ecological and botanical knowledge of habitats and species as well as success monitoring and sample planning? If so, then this extra-occupational training course lasting around 18 months could indeed be ideal for you.

The course is divided into three modules, the last of which is the CAS final thesis, which consists of a scientific paper on a chosen field of field botany or vegetation analysis and a more in-depth study of the final topic. In modules one and two, the project planning, the sampling design, is dealt with in great detail. This is done with the help of case studies, such as species conservation projects or monitoring renaturation. The VEGEDAZ program is also an important part of the course, as it is used to enter, manage, evaluate and analyze all collected vegetation data. The correct use of GPS and aerial images in monitoring projects, experimental planning and vegetation mapping is the last part of the vegetation analysis module.

The identification of sour and sweet grasses and other plants in their flowering and vegetative state, the correct use of plants in engineering biology and renaturation as well as the demarcation and evaluation of vegetation units are all topics covered in the field botany module. All of this content aims to provide participants with all the practical knowledge they need to independently plan and carry out a vegetation-related project, including extensive knowledge of methods, vegetation and flora.
