The advanced training course to become a certified nature and landscape conservationist is an additional qualification for well-trained specialists in the field of nature conservation and landscape management at master craftsman level.

The training course lasts 17 weeks, spread over the period from September to July. This includes two weeks of practical training. The examinations take place during the training weeks. Applications must be submitted to the government of Upper Franconia by June 30 each year.

The training is organized on behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Tourism in close cooperation with the Academy for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management (ANL) Laufen and the Bavarian State Institute for Agriculture in Freising.
