Program details

Overview

This HNC covers the practical and legal side of managing game and wildlife on land. Study includes sustainable deer management, wildlife law, the care of working dogs, public relations and the running of game sporting activities. Delivery uses block release, with students attending college for five days a week in alternating three week periods and spending matching periods on work placement. Core skills linked to the land-based sector can also be built into the timetable, and workplace practice is one of the units. Learners balance college study with time in the field. Graduates may progress to higher-level agricultural courses or into keeper, bailiff and ranger roles in the countryside. Relevant industrial experience is expected on entry, which helps learners link classroom study to estate work.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: NC Gamekeeping, or two passes at Higher (grades A to C), relevant industrial experience and Core Skills at SCQF Level 5.
