What the college says

This programme of study is seen as a two-year course and consists of both the Level 3 Diploma and the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Land and Wildlife. This qualification gives you the opportunity to learn about and build on the essentials of working within the countryside, such as estate skills, population surveys, safe use of equipment and machinery, land use and recreation and environmental processes. You will then choose to specialise in either countryside or game. If you choose the countryside option then you could be studying modules such as ecological concepts and application, environmental interpretation and fresh water and wetland management. You could then go on to study further areas such as farm habitat management, heathland habitat management, coastal management, managing volunteers, outdoor adventure activities or overland expeditions. Students taking the game option could be focusing on topics such as pest and predator control, use of firearms, ecology of game species and fresh water and wetland management. You could then go on to study further areas and gain skills in areas such as shoot management, working dogs, gamebird production, game management, commercial deer management, captive deer management or upland game management.
