The shark friend trainer course
Start teaching the conservation course
Become trainer
Teaches others on how to teach the students(shark’s friend) could be complexed and complicated. We are in the sensitive segment with the main objective of ‘conserving via education & knowledges’. The standards is high but achievable via times and passions. Prior to become our trainer, an application has to be approved by the founder or instructor trainer. Via this program, we are hoping to gather a massive useful database to be shared and to improve our current education syllabus both for the participant and trainer level, while this strategy will ensure our trainers are competitive in the future. Our program currently is run on the 50/50 research method between recreational and scientific, in order to encourage more interested parties to be part of the shark friend, we welcome both systematics methods.
