The GWCT’s part-time gamekeepers course has been running in one form or another for over 40 years, and has adapted in that time to ensure that the most current thinking regarding best practice game and shoot management is always at the forefront; helping keepers across the country improve their practices and get the best out of their birds and the shoot they work on.
Although called our part-time gamekeepers course, professionals have also come on and benefitted from this course previously and it’s open to all. Whether you’re a part-time keeper, single-handed keeper, shoot captain, keen syndicate member or enthusiast wanting to learn more, this course will help you to improve your knowledge, your shoot and help you get the most out of it.
The course covers gamebird releasing, woodland management, cover crop placement and establishment, predation management, wildlife conservation and shoot economics. You’ll also benefit from having an experienced GWCT advisor on hand to help with any questions specific to your shoot and you’ll spend the day with like-minded people who share your passion.
The £160 fee covers the course, refreshments, and lunch. Booking is essential as places are limited.
If location does not suit, please let us know and we may be able to arrange a bespoke course.
