The Field Identification Skills Certificate (FISC) is a test that assesses your botanical proficiency on a scale from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional), with a level 6 awarded in exceptional cases. FISC levels are recognised within the environmental sector as the standard tool for assessing botanical survey skills.

The assessor for this Mock FISC is Sarah Shuttleworth, Specialist Botanical Advisor at Plantlife.

A discounted rate is available for students, unwaged and volunteers. 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.
