Lantra Large (or Large and Small) Game meat hygiene qualification

The BDS DSC 1 course on 6th Apr at Bardwell in Suffolk will give you the Large Game Handling qualification if that helps?

I’ve spoken to NGO and BASC lately about this and no plans unless numbers requesting it are up ... and would probably mean other end of country from me

I only want small game hygiene handling course but it appears they don’t really do them individually now so would have to go through large game side which I already have

Best thing is to go round the houses asking : register your interest
Then see when one put on

Thanks...

I get we all need to stay abreast of current regs but it is so frustrating that having been stalking for 25 years, qualified with the NSCC and the DSC1, I now have to do another course just to be entitled to register to do the DSC2.
Then to rub salt in the wound I can’t find anyone running the course:doh:
 
I am booked onto the Lantra course running in Halesworth on 5/4/18. You do one compulsory module then chose both the large and small game modules in the afternoon. Myself and a friend are booked on and there is another guy I know who wants to attend as he told me about it in the first place. They do need the numbers to run it, but I think they're getting close.

They have been really helpful. Hope this helps. Any other questions get in touch.
 
Sauer., i thought large game covered u for small game too??

I’m hearing different .......
Small game for example I’m told needs to be kept 4c and lower ...where as large game deer 7c lower ideally.

But I’m only hearing from others so not sure if 100% right .?

If you have your DSC1 why are you being asked to do the large game hygiene certificate, as its normally included in your DSC1. or did you do it before it was included
 
I am in the same boat as BigPat - did my DSC level one years ago and then didn't upgrade by spending the £15 or so. Now cannot find a meat hygiene course anywhere in Scotland.
 
For those that are just looking for a large game ticket to add to their level one to move onto their level two. Look around for someone running the complete level 1 and just go along on the assessment day and sit the one large game hygeine paper of 40 questions. It is quite common now to have someone come along just for that paper.....John

Have a word with Jim Goodlad at Elmwood college in Cupar - they should run one.
 
unfortunately, yes I did my NSCC in 1995 and the DSC1 in 2002 so both before 2006.

I did my disc level 1 before the meat hygiene very was included .
But was automatically reissued the certificate shortly after with that added.

They must have had a time period where If you did it after X amount of time they gave you the new cert but if before you had to do it separately ?


Still waiting or even [emoji102] for a small game course ?
Beginning g to even think it’s doesn’t exist or even checked upon if you go into business [emoji2955]

I did my Level 1 in 2000. They did write to me some years later (2005 I think) and say if I paid £15 (or so) I could get the meat hygiene bit added, but like Taystalker said above - tomorrow will do and then it is too late. As suggested by lochty I am going to contact Jim Goodlad at Elmwood college in Cupar and see if they might put on a course. BTW, I ddi the UHI course in Sustainable Deer Management this year - 15 weeks, 10 hours a week and £550, but I can recommend it if you are interested in 'management' as opposed practical stuff - particularly in terms of writing/reviewing deer management plans, population modelling etc. Also, as you might imagine, it has interesting and debatable political aspects. As a rule I don't like the tend towards regulation and I am cynical about motives but look at what happens in Europe and be pleased the state doesn't own everything in Scotland - yet....
