Due to the popularity of game shooting, more people are participating, the area of land under game management is increasing, more birds are released and intensification of management in some areas is increasing. In order that there is a net biodiversity gain arising from game management activities, it is important that game management follows industry codes of practice and standards.
There is currently no formal qualification for professional game managers. This course is aimed at all individuals who have responsibility for managing a shoot, including head keepers, singlehanded keepers, estate managers, land agents, landowners, shoot managers and shoot captains. It is a three-day course with the option to complete all modules over three consecutive days, or the modules can be completed within a 12-month period (over three separate one-day sessions) for candidates that are unable to join for three consecutive days.
