Haddon Training has been working with The Hunting Office to ensure that skills from previous generations of hunt staff are passed on to new entrants.
The Hunting Office is certain that part of the future of all forms of hunting will rely upon the training, education and qualifications for all staff coming into the industry, to ensure animal welfare is maintained to the highest standard in the future. It is important for all hunt kennels to take active participation in the promotion of the education of a future generation of hunt staff.
The Hunting Office stresses the importance of the scheme:
“The Apprenticeship gives our future huntsmen the opportunity to receive guidance from experienced members of hunt staff. By living and working in kennels, they understand the importance of hound welfare, improve their hunting knowledge and skill, and also obtain a formal qualification.”
This apprenticeship offers the opportunity to:
- access nationally recognised qualifications based on practical work skills.
- have their knowledge and achievements from within the workplace recognised.
- be identified as working to a well-respected national standard in their chosen specialist area.
- leave school at 16 and work in the hunt kennels and earn a wage.
What qualifications are available?
- Apprenticeship at Animal Care and Welfare Assistant Level 2 (equivalent to 5 GCSEs at A-C grades)
- Advanced Apprenticeship at Level 3 in Animal Care (equivalent to 2 “A” Levels)
“An Apprenticeship provides the knowledge and skills hunt staff need to work in hunt service. The Apprenticeship gives young people a valuable qualification with transferable skills that will enable them to make career progression within the hunting industry. We are now in a position of having Huntsmen who have graduated from the programme, that are now responsible for the training of new applicants; thus investing again in the future of hunting.
