cunninghamb 2 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Lucky for some eh? Won't go far wrong there mate, trust me . What you going for NC or skill seekers? If they offer you the skill seekers coarse take it, that way you get 2 years more experience over the nc/hnc boys. ATB and good luck Quote Link to post
t5avs1 2 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 i put in for the NC highland gamekeeping. have you done the courses then what they like? do they offer you other courses then even if you dint apply for them? cheers Quote Link to post
cunninghamb 2 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Aye I'm doing one the now like, they're pretty awesome! As long as your work and keep in line. I applied for the NC like everybody's else does, but when you go for an interview, if you are lucky enough to be accepted the will ask you if you would like to skill seekers which is a 4 year coarse as you get a further 2 years experience with the college which is a very good thing. Wear smart clothes to your interview, look sharp, firm hand shake and DO NOT MUMBLE! lol. Quote Link to post
t5avs1 2 Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 aye right so you do the skillseekers for 2 years then move onto nc and hnc then? how far in are you on the course, hopefully friday the 13th is lucky for me then, hopefully i might of found a placement though fingers crossed and apparently that guarantees you a place so i have been told on the phone by some one at the college in charge of the gamekeeping courses Quote Link to post

If you have a placement and tick all the right boxes your basically in! I would say it is probably the best collage out of the other 2 that do gamekeeping in scotland! And you have a good chance of getting a job after it cause of the hands on experience you gain from working on the estate! Quote Link to post
cunninghamb 2 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Aye bud, you do the 2 years as a skillseeker then do a year at nc then another yeard at hnc, employers will favour this as you will have the exactly the same qualifications as the hnc people at the end of the 4 years but you will have an extra 2 years over them which counts in your favour. Aye if you've got a placement and the estate is approved by the college I think it gaurentees a placement, well one off my mates has applied for this year and he said he has his placement already due to having an estate...
