The Diplomas in Work Based Animal Care at Levels 2 & 3 can be achieved by adding one of nine (Level 2) or 10 (Level 3) occupational routes to the mandatory units. Of these routes, Haddon Training is able to offer the General Animal Care route which is relevant to working in Hunt Kennels. It encompasses both the care and management of hunt horses and hounds.
Haddon Training is certain that part of the future of all forms of hunting will rely upon training, education and qualifications for staff coming into the industry as well as maintaining animal welfare standards at the highest levels. Haddon Training believes that the training programmes that we can support go part of the way to addressing these requirements. We believe that it is important for all hunt kennels to take active participation in the promotion of the education of the future generation of hunt staff, and although this has never been a requirement in the past, it is important for the hunting fraternity to embrace training opportunities that will advance their careers. Hunting has a future if it keeps abreast of 21st century education and welfare standards.
