You don't need them, but they're worth having and you'll benefit from doing them.
The only thing you actually need is the LGMH qualification, and then only if you're selling carcasses to an AGHE, or processing venison for sale.
Why would you subscribe to a money making scheme?

Same as a car drivers licence do you need a test and do you need a advanced driving test
You can drive along without nought and get along of course you can
Ironic thing about L1 and L2 it’s not mandatory. YET but I believe it will be nearer the horizon very shortly
particularly after recent parliamentary changes
The matching answer is no driving test, no advanced driving no L1 or L2 or you can bounce along the bottom doing whatever
Using all of the above to become a valuable asset by way of training is progression and personal improvement nothing to do with cost money making Personal development is the key to whether anyone chooses a enjoyable path is a personal choice not a course provider cost
Just my thoughts

Yes I think it will become mandatory the more who subscribe to these courses are coursing another nail in the coffin for our freedom imoIronic thing about L1 and L2 it’s not mandatory. YET but I believe it will be nearer the horizon very shortly
You will get the same mix of opinions as when asking about other qualifications, one end saying experience doing it and university of life etc and those that think it’s adds to their experience. I have completed both and learned stuff on both, in the DSC1 I also learned some tips from fellow course members. Also now more and more syndicates and permissions are asking for them as a prerequisite
Life experience is worth more than any qualifications imo
Thing is I contacted national trust about squirrel control , they came back saying I need dsc1 to shoot squirrels on national trust land , this is why I say more who subscribe the more we will need , not just shooting but in all walks of life
If you were a landowner which would cover your posterior
Unspecified’ ‘experience’ or a piece of paper that can be referred to in court?
A bit like a driving licence or a gas ticket

I guess the guy with dsc1 will be shooting their squirrels then
Yes probably totally ridiculous Will only get worse with the far left woke in powerI guess the guy with dsc1 will be shooting their squirrels then
I agree with you but it’s the way things are , yes you can get permissions on farms , through friends etc with years of experience and no qualifications ,but ,any organisations these days look at people with a qualification as a way to prove they are safe , knowledgeable and will let them onto their land to shoot ,would you let an armed stranger onto your property not knowing anything of their experience?
It’s not compulsory but more and more people will look at you having proof of experience/qualification
Same as having to have a certificate to possess firearms ! Once upon a time it wasn’t necessary !
But most of us have FAC surly that is a good indication, specially with what we have to go through every five years

Yep
Like anything conform or be reduced
Not good anyway you look at it, even when the noose is tightening a little more each year and you know the crap outcome - you owe it to yourself and the field sport your connected to to give your best shot to stave off any more restrictive measures as possible. sadly paperwork now is the spearhead for that. L1 & L2 is a pittance of a cost to fight the restrictive society we live in
There is a -L1. Course always in the offing. Do nothing because your a very rare position of not having change due to personal circumstances and take it as it comes
doing diddly squat in your defence I stupidly I guess - still hold the thought in that if everyone who shoots held up a banner and showed unity we could make a difference. One day

You don't need them until you suddenly find that you do! Absolutely required by many of the big land owners on this island. Lot's of syndicates require the paper these days to keep their insurer happy. May not be required by farmer Giles though. When a good opportunity comes up you may well find that you're blocked from applying and that opportunity may not come by again for many years. They're not bits of paper that you can obtain in a day.

To gain An FAC no experience or training is needed just suitable need to own. Target shooting or pest control.
I am not dsc trained but I intend to go that route, there is always something to learn and it is a way of showing competence. Experience could be seen as, just because you have been doing it that way for a number of years does not mean it is right or even legal. Please I am not knocking any one on here it is just how it is perceived in the outside non shooting world. Lots of blokes in camouflage in the woods killing wildlife with no training.

Have you got them?
Would you do them?
Do you need them?
Is education and learning a bad thing?
Is it just badge collecting...
