Join our experts on a mock Field Identification Skills Certificate assessment to help prepare for the real thing.
The Field Identification Skills Certificate assessment can be daunting, so a mock is a great way of preparing yourself for the real thing.
This mock assessment will mirror closely the FISC assessment. Although you will not get an official FISC score from this mock, you will get a mock score and have the full FISC experience so that when you are ready for your assessment, you will know what to expect. If you have any questions before you secure your place, or want to discuss any adjustments that would support you to take part, contact rachel.jones@plantlife.org.uk.
The assessor for this FISC is Sarah Shuttleworth, Specialist Botanical Advisor at Plantlife.
Plantlife is pleased to partner with the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) as an Approved Provider for the FISC. This event is being run by Plantlife Biodiversity Consultants.

What is a bryophyte? The basics of bryophytes: mosses vs liverworts, growth forms, reproductive processes. Key identification features of mosses and liverworts. How to use a key to identify species in the field. The relationship between bryophytes and temperate rainforest.
The Rainforest Restoration Project is being led by the Woodland Trust in partnership with Plantlife. This project is funded by the Government’s Species Survival Fund. The fund was developed by Defra and its Arm’s-Length Bodies. It is being delivered by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Natural England and the Environment Agency.
This online workshop will teach you the basic biology of ferns, to help you identify some of the key species found in temperate rainforest.
Ferns can act as indicators of temperate rainforest or oceanic woodland habitat. Some of the species seen in the UK’s temperate rainforests are found nowhere else on earth.
