Out of interest, does anybody know what the pass rate is for the BDS / Jelen Advanced Deer Management courses?
Hi
Sorry I don't know the pass rates but did the BDS deer management course earlier this year and would advise to ask if the folder could be sent out prior to attending the course as found it a lot to take in in the three days.

Does that folder include the exam questions ?
From what I was told on the course the only difference between the old 5 day and the new 3 day courses is that on the 3 day you have no park visit and no shoot test.
I suppose when other suppliers start offering a similar course in less time something has to give to enable you to stay in the game as it were, unfortunate I think as the extra days would of given more weight to the qualification but what do you do, when I did my DMQ level 1 it was four days now people are getting the same papers in two, right or wrong that's the way society is going in every aspect due to the 'I want it yesterday' tribe.

Or the standard of teaching and knowledge of the candidates is very goodif the first time pass rate is indeed 95% then it's not really advanced enough!!

I do not wish to devalue anybodies qualifications but I think that these qualifications in there current form are not worth the paper that they're written on.
In theory you could get DSC1, DSC2 and be an Advanced Deer Manager and only have ever shot 3x deer.
How can you be advanced without sitting an advanced shooting test?
You also have to remember that it is a course. Courses have very high pass rates.
Having red your post above Eric, would you not say that their qualification is devalued by the fact that what I have said could happen?
