    Our Facilities, Team and Bespoke Training

    Topic outline

      • Durrell Conservation Academy began as the 'International Training Centre for the Conservation and Captive Breeding of Endangered Species' situated at the headquarters of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust in Jersey. It was officially opened by our Patron, the Princess Royal, and our Founder, Gerald Durrell, in 1984. It was renamed 'Durrell Conservation Academy' in honour of our Founder in 2012.

        Jersey remains HQ for our training delivery, but in 2013 we established a second training base in Mauritius and plan to establish a training base in Madagascar from 2020. 

        See below to find out more about: -

        • Our training team in Jersey
        • Our training facilities (which are available for hire)
        • Our training team in Mauritius

        In addition, we run training courses and workshops elsewhere around the world to meet the needs of conservation organisations. As we all as our Current Courses we also provide bespoke training courses for colleges, universities and conservation organisations. To find out more click here.

        The Durrell Conservation Academy is located in the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. The Academy is situated alongside Durrell Wildlife Hostel, and Jersey Zoo, where the animal collection is housed. The facilities are listed below, take a look at our virtual tour too!


        Hastings Lecture Theatre

        This is a purpose-built lecture room with tiered seating and desk space for 54 people. It incorporates a white board and ceiling mounted LCD projector. 

        Computer Lab

        The computer lab is equipped with 15 computers running Microsoft Windows. They are networked with internet connection, Microsoft Office and a range of specialist software relevant to conservation, such as GIS and population management software.  A colour printer is also available. The room is used for live demonstration of software for teaching purposes using a projector and screen.

        Classroom

        A bright room with tables and chairs for up to 12 available for teaching or meeting purposes is situated alongside the computer lab. Whiteboard and flip chart, projection screen and LCD projector are available.

        Library 

        There is a well-stocked library containing books, published reports, unpublished reports and dissertations, journals, newsletters and popular magazines. Material is organised using the Dewey Decimal System and catalogued electronically using Procite. It is therefore possible to do author, title and keyword searches on books and locate individual issues of journals.

        We have current subscriptions to around 25 journals and receive numerous others and newsletters on exchange or gratis.  The journal and serial collection is housed here in the aptly named 'Sir William Collins Memorial Library' whilst the books, reports, current issues of journals and reprints are kept in the 'Phillips Reference Library'. In addition, we have online access to a further ~180 journals.

        Six individual study booths for self-study are available together with a boardroom table and seating, large white board, comfy chairs and a photocopier.

        Wifi 

        A wireless internet signal is available throughout the Academy facilities.
