Who this training is for
What this scope opens up
A building is assessed plot by plot. Area-wide development is assessed at territory scale, and that is a different discipline: ecological continuity, networks, articulation with local planning documents and with the land transfer specifications of a development zone.
It is also where the heaviest decisions are taken, and where the competence is scarcest. No Biodiversity Partner currently holds this scope.
Audience and entry requirements
Biodiversity Partners qualified on New Constructions or Evolution, ecologists, landscape architects, development design offices. The course requires an active Biodiversity Partner qualification and experience of environmental assessment at development scale.

What this training does not replace
The course "Biodiversity Partner Development" does not award a degree in ecology and does not replace initial training in the discipline.
It extends an existing qualification to an additional scope. It does not replace the course "Becoming a Biodiversity Partner", which remains its prerequisite.
It carries no equivalence with any professional status awarded outside France.
We claim no approval from third-party networks or bodies. What we publish are their own texts, with their source and date, alongside our programmes. The decision belongs to them, and we give you what you need to ask them.
Have your training funded
The training "Biodiversity Partner Aménagement, référentiel Horizon" is eligible for funding by your skills operator, because it is delivered with QUALITEL Formation, a Qualiopi-certified body.
- You pre-register.
- IRICE checks your prerequisites and passes the file on.
- QUALITEL Formation issues the quotation and the agreement.
- Your company files the funding request with its operator, before the training starts.
Depending on your collective agreement, this is most often Atlas for design offices, engineering and architecture practices, Constructys for construction companies, and Uniformation for social housing. Local authority staff come under the CNFPT.
Constructys requires a complete file at least fifteen days before the training starts, and does not process late files.

Getting your registration approved
In most cases the company decides and pays. Here is what makes the request easy to accept.
What it unlocks
A competence that can be evidenced in a technical submission, at the moment the environmental criterion becomes mandatory in every public contract.
What it secures
A team that knows what to ask an ecologist, what evidence it must produce, and at which stage of the project.
What it actually costs
880 € HT, 7 heures, 1 jour away from the office, and possible funding by the skills operator.
Message template
Subject: training request, biodiversity and construction projects Hello, I would like to attend the training "Biodiversity Partner Aménagement, référentiel Horizon", 7 heures, 1 jour, at 880 € HT. Since 22 August 2026, every public contract must include an environmental award criterion. We will have to evidence a biodiversity competence in our technical submissions, and we have nothing to produce on that point today. The training is delivered with QUALITEL Formation, a Qualiopi-certified body, so it is eligible for funding by our skills operator. The reference to quote on the file is ENV-HOR. One scheduling constraint: the file must be submitted before the training starts, and at least fifteen days in advance for some operators. I am available to discuss it.
