Now that's an interesting question!

As long as a hygeine ticket is produced at the level 1 then that will do....J

Pretty sure you still have to take it as it is one of the assessments that form the dsc1 irrespective of the fact that it no longer gets you the trained hunter ticket.

I bet the uptake on NGO and Lantra courses has increased massively since the goalposts were moved. I think in the past these were a really small part of the system, basically a few diehard NGO supporters, but now people can see a real benefit to doing it this way.

Just the way it is. You take the NGA day course and get your Trained Hunter number.
Suet’s some but if you have no experience then better to do the DMQ 1 and 2.
