Deer Management Course Essex - anyone had any joy with BDS

[T.eddie]

I reached out to BDS a couple of weeks ago to see if they had plans on running the deer management course in or near to Essex but was told they had no plans on doing so in the foreseeable future. From looking on here there seems to be a few people interested around the area. Has anyone had any joy in them confirming they will be / when or any other information?

Assuming you are referring to the Advanced Deer Management course, if BDS aren’t offering any more this year, Jelen Premier Wildlife Services are offering a couple of dates for the same ADM course. Not in Essex but not a million miles away, and eligible for the Forestry Training Fund.

Thanks woodsy, I've already got the funding for this from the forestry training fund with BDS so doubt I could get it again/changed

With your confirmation letter you should have received the following note, which suggests to me that changes can be made but must be agreed in writing as stated. It’s worth contacting the Training Fund team to discuss this. I think Jelen currently have a few places still available…

• No changes can be made to the Training Course for which grant funding has been awarded, including your selected training provider, unless agreed in writing with us prior to any course booking being made.

Have you contacted Dawn Cope? BDS a very helpful person, rather than asking on here. as others have been informed and to reiterate it's the lack of availability of trainers that is the issue.

it was Dawn that replied, the reason for posting on here was to see if anyone had been told anything differently

I secured funding through the training fund for the above course so it definitely is eliigible!

I am also waiting for DMC by BDS in East Anglia with almost zero hope. I am booked in their September course in Petersfield anyway. If some miracle happens and BDS comes up with a new dates around here, they will move me to this.

Received an email saying this course wasn’t available through the training fund … I guess I’ll have to email them again … they’ve been bloody useless!

The Advanced Deer Management course is definitely available. It may be fully booked already though/all places allocated. Perhaps that is what they meant?

I mean the wording in the email was pretty clear: The course you had chosen to undertake is not on the approved list and is not something that the Forestry Training Fund can support.

That is very odd. And it was definitely the ADM course, offered by Jelen that you applied for?

Professional deer stalker training & wildlife management courses, including DSC1, DSC2, marksmanship, deer control, culling, humane animal despatch & more.

If you go to the link above which lists all of the courses Jelen offer, scroll down to the Advanced Deer Management course and you will see it clearly states ‘Eligible for the Forestry Training Fund’.
I applied for that very course and received confirmation that I have secured the funding for the August ADM course in Hampshire. So it’s definitely on the list and is supported by the FT fund!
