Game and Wildlife Management

Being here is a big difference from school because you get to experience what it’s like in the workplace and get ready for a job, which will be soon to come. After college I want to ideally become a head keeper on an estate. Sparsholt have really upped my skill levels. I would recommend Sparsholt highly to everyone because it makes you work ready

My name is Josh, I’m studying Level 3 Game at Sparsholt.

 

I chose Sparsholt because I’ve had a lot of good recommendations about it and how it’s producing good keepers over the previous years and it’s really good because I think they try to get you really hands-on experience and not just all the theory and just sitting in the classroom all the time, and this really suits me because I’m a bit more practical learner and it’s a big difference from school because you get to experience what it’s like in the workplace and gets you ready for a job which will be soon to come.

 

My three week work placement has just come to an end which is really interesting for me. I learned a lot of things and I’ve got a lot of practical work that I haven’t done before and I’ve also got to use some of the stuff I’ve been learning at college out in the estate which is really useful.

 

After college I want to ideally become a head keeper on an estate. I think Sparsholt have really upped my skill levels, the social side at Sparsholt is really good it’s a really nice community because you’re with people who can relate to what you want to do we’re all aiming for the same objectives and we help each other.

I’ve made some great friends while I’ve been at Sparsholt. I’d recommend Sparsholt highly to everyone because purely it makes you work ready while I’m at college I still feel connected to the industry because of my industry placement, I think this really helps you get contact links within the industry and I think it’s just a really great way Sparsholt I’ve chosen to get young keepers out into the industry.
