- **Event Description**: DBRC is delivering a FISC in partnership with the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) 17/06/2026 - £235 plus VAT per attendeeAbout this EventThe Field Identification Skills Certificate (FISC) is a formal assessment to evaluate and certify botanical identification skills. Conducted over a day, the test assesses participants proficiency in species identification on a scale from 1 (beginner) to 5 (professional), with level 6 awarded in exceptional cases.The FISC consists of two lab sessions in the morning where candidates identify 10 widespread species from across Britain and Ireland, followed by 20 "challenging" specimens. The afternoon field survey is conducted at a local site where participants produce a species list from the habitats present which is then compared to a gold standard surveyor. We will be looking for evidence of appropriately cautious and precise recording as well as species ID.You can use your favourite field guides for all but the first lab test. Additional reference guides will be provided for the second indoor lab test, but you will need to bring your own guide for the field test.The results of the lab and field tests are then combined to provide an overall score.Following a quality assurance process, you will be awarded a widely acknowledged certificate stating your grade from one to five, or in exceptional cases six, based on the BSBI ‘skills pyramid’ (which can be found on the BSBI website). Detailed feedback will be available on request once marking has been completed.The FISC is designed to be challenging but it is still a fun day and a great way to direct future learning and recognise achievement.For more details on the FISC please see the BSBI's website:https://bsbi.org/field-skills1. Data ProtectionDue to the requirement for both parties to receive and process data to achieve the successful coordination and delivery of FISC, and the purposes and means of processing having been jointly established through this Agreement, DBRC and BSBI resolve to act as Joint Data Controllers for the period of this Agreement for information relating to FISC Assessors, Gold Standard Surveyors and FISC candidates associated with DBRC.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/509d8560-1998-11f1-9467-2923091d78de-rimg-w1200-h618-dcffffff-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/50cf6ad0-1998-11f1-9467-2923091d78de-rimg-w939-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg   https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/50ff5470-1998-11f1-8747-1187d79d3166-rimg-w1200-h366-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 10:15 AM - 10:45 AMArrival🕑: 10:45 AM - 11:00 AMIntroduction to the Day🕑: 11:00 AM - 01:00 PMLab Tests🕑: 01:00 AM - 01:30 AMLunch🕑: 01:30 PMDepart for Field Test🕑: 02:00 PM - 04:00 PMField Surveying🕑: 04:00 PMSummary of Day and Return to the Stover Centre

                "description": "DBRC is one of a national network of Local Environmental Records Centres in the UK and has been providing information about wildlife for more than 20 years. We collect, manage and make available records of wildlife, and currently manage a database of over 8.5 million records which is updated by 2,000-5,000 records a month. All of our records are validated and verified, so that the data is of a known quality. We also collect and manage data on wildlife habitats and geological sites, and lead on the County Wildlife Sites program for the county.Hosted by Devon Wildlife Trust, DBRC is run on a ‘not for profit’ basis, and was originally set up to act a central reference point for anyone who wants to know about wildlife in Devon. We operate with support from key partners such as Devon County Council and the Environment Agency, and provide data services to our funding partners with annually updated species and sites information. Over time our role has expanded, but at our heart remains a mission to make the best available data on Devon’s biodiversity, as accessible as possible.In addition to planning authorities, we provide information to parish councils, local people, conservation bodies, land-owners, students and commercial organisations such as ecological consultants and utilities companies via data searches, data licensing and data exchanges. Please see the Data Search Enquiries page for more information on data searches, data licensing and data exchanges. Having appropriate outlets/formats for the data, is fundamental to ensuring its responsible use, and that the most up to date information is used within decision making processes.  Please note that there has been a slight increase in our data search prices in line with inflation.DBRC holds datasets which need to be constrained due to commercial sensitivities, as without central government funding, we need to operate a blended business model. Appropriate charges are therefore made for access to data, to allow for the continued long term improvement in our data holdings.Due to a number of large scale, high profile projects that are ongoing, we currently have a permanent staff of 8 people at DBRC and up to 10 people working on a voluntary basis or on short contracts.DBRC is hosted by DWT and as such operates within its environmental policies such as ISO 14001"
