Game & Wildlife Management Level 3 Advanced Technical Extended Diploma

Are you thinking of becoming either a Head Keeper or a Wider Estate Manager? Do you have a passion for game and wildlife? If the answer is yes, this could be the course for you!

Gamekeeping and wildlife conservation have much in common as both require the sensitive management of the woodland and countryside habitat.

The course will provide a practical understanding of game, fish and deer management along with the underpinning knowledge required by countryside managers. Whilst on the course, students will carry out wide and varied practical tasks related to gamekeeping on the Plumpton College estate, supplemented by visits to various other estates within the local vicinity. During your course you will assist with running the college shoot.
