WiSe Operators & Adventure Course
The WiSe Operators and Adventure Course is delivered in an online format and lasts around 5 hours, usually over two evening sessions. The course will be delivered by industry experts and cover Cetaceans, Seals, Seabirds, Shoreline and Blue Health.
WiSe course attendees commit to abide by not only national and local laws on wildlife conservation and disturbance avoidance, but also the WiSe Codes of Conduct.
Refresher training is required for all after 3 years to maintain WiSe certification. Trained individuals are added to this website following receipt of their signed declaration. A WiSe Scheme course sticker and logo will be supplied for promotional use to all participants, along with copies of all Codes of Conduct.

*As WiSe is now a registered Community Interest Company, with legal objectives to adhere to, WiSe Directors reserve the right to list operators as suspended on the WiSe listing and website for a period of at least 12 months, if they are convicted of wildlife disturbance and/or receive multiple substantiated complaints. Suspension can be removed after 12 months subject to appropriate demonstration of behaviour change and attending another course.
