Trained hunter status reverts to DSC1

[VSS]

As from next month, so I've just heard.
Splitting it made no sense to me, and apparently it hasn't worked very well in practice, so DMQ are reverting to the old system whereby you get your trained hunter status as part of your DSC1 qualification, which then enables you to sign off carcasses and put them into a game dealer.
Good news, imo.

Do people on the current system have it added or do they have to do a top up? I think they removed it from the original to encourage people to do DSC2

They still do that now by adding the LANTRA course onto it. I know its an optional extra so if you mean they are integrating it back in that way

Going back to exactly how it used to be, I think.

We're did you hear it, what the source?

The older DSC1 (Blue certificate) included trained hunter status (possibly exemption) without any additional course or add on

I wonder what the cost will be. DSC1 will go up in price, I'm sure.

From a DSC1 training provider.
I am trying to get confirmation from other sources.

Common sense prevails, I wonder who decided to originally change it?

 

[bottletopbill]

So what happens now I did my dsc1 then a separate course for LGMH cert from another provider.

Do we ask for a new certificate now

 

[Sol]

That would be good too know if that's the case especially if BASC Is one of them? my DSC1 Is just shy of 2 months away, more qualifications at once the better.

I think NGO still do a one day LGMH course.

Why do you need a new certificate? You have DSC 1 and LGMH so no further action required surely?

Deer Central announced this on their socials this morning that the LGMH was being reintroduced into the DSC 1 qualification. Send Ben an email and I am sure he will confirm this.

Sounds like common sense. Never agreed with the reduction in scope and time on dsc1. The old course was comprehensive and a push time wise even then with the extra days, to cover it all, sim / safety stalk and shoot test. I remember the deer ID section when I did it and plenty needed education. As the benchmark qual for deer, it should be as comprehensive as possible as prob the only training most will do before being set loose with a firearm in the countryside.

I hope next step is to revert back the DSC2 to 3 stalks... That would made more sense!

Pretty easy to add your TH status if you did your DSCL1 between 2021 and the current date. You just watch a video and apply. DMQ Trained Person – DMQ

I watched the video posted from deer central (maybe)
