FAO's FLRM has developed the e-learning course "Introduction to forest and landscape restoration." The self-paced e-learning course is available, free of charge, in English and is certified through the digital badge certification system.

The course aims to introduce the key concepts and steps of forest and landscape restoration (FLR).

It presents the benefits of FLR and important aspects to consider when implementing, managing and monitoring FLR, as well as barriers and success factors.

The course is available as a global public good through the FAO e-learning Academy. The Academy is adopting the Digital Badges Certification System, to certify the acquisition of competencies, in order to progress talents within organizations and increase employment opportunities. A certification granted by FAO, by passing the final scenario-based performance evaluation test, is now associated to the e-learning courses. Badges are an official recognition of competencies acquired and are part of the professional profile of learners, who can then incorporate them in their LinkedIn, e-portfolio, curriculum on the web, for employment purposes, education, or lifelong learning.

It will shortly be available in French.
