This might annoy some , but I do not believe you should get your Game handling ticket from just ticking a box. There are those that are new to stalking, can do their homework and pass the questions. Do you really trust those folk to know what they are looking at when gralloching a deer and putting it into the food chain. With DSC 1 at the moment you do the game paper as you used to. That is a good grounding for carrying on. With the level 2 , at least you are proving to a witness that you do know what you are doing and what to look for. Who would you rather get a carcase from to eat yourself???...J

It was helpful, thank you.
Like you I have DSC2 but your post could definitely satisfy a demand
So what are people supposed to do with all the deer that they shoot between taking DSC1 and DSC2?
Done properly, with carcasses available for demo, the old DSC1 that included the LGMH element was ideal, in my opinion.
I'd rather people had had classroom training and sat a proper written exam to obtain their LGMH qualification, than simply gralloched one carcass in the presence of a witness.
So to answer your question, I'd rather get a carcass from someone who did their LGMH as part of a DSC1 course. DSC2 adds nothing to that.

Would be better for shooter's but less money coming in the kitty.

Nothing stopping anyone adding the meat handling course onto their DSC Level 1. £90 last time I looked. That's £390 for Level 1 and the meat hygiene cert. Normally a lot cheaper than PDS or whatever at £500 plus a day, in many cases.
PDS or whatever you call it, is not to my knowledge carried out by qualified Assessors? Or at least some of the clients I have had, who undertook such a course did not appear to have had a qualified Assessor, or even I might add someone who knows enough about deer and deer stalking.
Too many people jumping on the lets make some money quickly deal, with their made up one day courses at £500 a day in my opinion.

Wished I had been told you can add the meat handling course would have paid the extra cost is there any way I could do this section .
Just like when you fail a section.
Is the PDS accepted as well as the DSC1

You can do the LANTRA Level 2 Large Game Meat Hygiene Certificate as a standalone qualification.
This is the ONLY qualification you have to have in order to sell deer carcasses.

Go to the link I posted in #12.
Scroll down.
Enter your postcode in the appropriate box.
Should come up with a list of your nearest course providers.
(Edit: that doesn't seem to work. Just comes up with a course provider in Ireland. Best you contact LANTRA at Stoneleigh and ask them).

For clarity, NGO also do the stand alone game meat hygiene course. It normally runs after the DSC1 they do, so people can 'bolt on' this element. You can just rock up for that part in its own though, if that's what you wish.
It gives you a trained hunter number upon completion.

Can't see BASC doing a course as they support DSC2
Who ever thought this out was for money

As we did dsc1 together, I'm also now looking for this and would happily jump on a course with you if either you or I manage to find one.
