Hi @chetanbarker809,

Thanks for posting to the forums and showing interest in ecosystem service modeling! The Natural Capital Project offers a free online course here : [https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-the-natural-capital-project-approach](https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-to-the-natural-capital-project-approach).

That might be a good place to start!

We also had a summer series that was recorded as 3 sessions that might be useful to watch through as well.
