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.

“I gained a degree in Rural Resource Management, have managed game and wildlife in France, Belgium and the UK before teaching, am passionate about deer management and enjoy fly fishing.”
“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.”
