Welcome to the training section of the NNSS website. Here you can find training and educational resources including e-learning, sector specific information, and examples of good practice.
Strategic Priorities
A review was undertaken in 2012 to assess the strategic priorities for non-native species training in Britain. Find out more about the work of the Non-native Species Training subgroup and download the strategic plan here.
E-learning

- an introduction to non-native species
- identification and recording
- identification of key freshwater plants
- identification of key freshwater invertebrates
- identification of key riparian plants
- biosecurity
