Plaudits
“Excellent course, run at an appropriate pace and to the style and content we asked for. Feel much more confident going forward and feel it has been a very worthwhile experience. Would recommend to others.”
“This course fitted my requirements perfectly as it enhanced my stalking knowledge and I gained a better insight into the gralloching and larder aspects which I thought I had locked in the field. Instructors were approachable and very flexible, highly recommend this course”
“I attended the Intermediate Deer Course recently and found it incredibly informative and an absolute pleasure to attend. The trainer was a credit to themselves and BASC. They had the ability to pass on their wealth of knowledge in an easy to digest manor, whilst retaining the pertinent information.”
