Student Story
"Everything that we learn here fits into place when you're out working and helps to build a bigger picture"
Oscar, Game and Wildlife ManagementJoin our well-connected, skilled and employable students in a highly successful department with a renowned record of training courses for gamekeepers and those involved in all aspects of estate and wildlife management.
Game and Wildlife Management at Sparsholt College has an enviable reputation in the industry as a centre for the training and development of outstanding students, who successfully progress to a career in the industry.
This success is built on the outstanding facilities that students use, both at the college and in the local and national industry, to develop knowledge and skills to a high standard, valued by employers.
Sparsholt has been training gamekeepers since the 1970s and there are now ex-students on every continent except Antarctica.
Firearms will be supplied when necessary, for practical training and assessment. There is no facility to store personal firearms onsite.
“After studying at Sparsholt, I worked in the Game industry before returning to teach here in 2008. I have co-ordinated the Level 2 and 3 Game and Wildlife courses, specialising in pest and predator management, game bird rearing and firearms.”
