Is cumbria newton rigg or is there another college?
I thought it shut down last year or so

Newton Rigg has gone, University of Cumbria (Ambleside) is now the base for national school of forestry. After that try SRUC Barony, but they’re under Scottish funding rules.

Cheers dave never knew there was such a place/school.

Not really sure the barony is doing that much nowadays, althou could be wrong really only interested in vet nurses coarses and horses now ( not a bad thing for any male students thou)
think most is from the highlands college now

Do have any experiance with this course?

Bangor is the only degree level course I know of (I am currently considering it).

Depending on your background you could start the process to become chartered. I imagine that will be just as useful as a degree (on paper)..

Have a look on the ICF and RFS websites, they list 'approved' courses.

Just completed my MSc in Forestry with Bangor. Great course - choice of modules you can choose from and staff very supportive. Be prepared for a tonne of reading lol!

Evening all,

Anyone on here know of any forestry courses that are available as online learning that result in a recognised qualification? All the usual places to look are full time courses, and I'm not able to take a year out to do one as a full time student.

Any help is much appreciated

Having spoken to a few students on this course a couple of years back, I got the impression that actual jobs for qualified people were rather scarce/oversubscribed in the profession, but this may have changed over time.

Euro forest were advertising for qualified foresters etc recently.

There’s a huge demand for foresters in Scotland. If you’re a trained forester and want to live in Argyll, send me a message. I have space for three in my team alone.
