National Diploma in Game Ranch Management (George Campus)

Introduction

The programme consists of two years of theoretical and one year of experiential training. During their training, students gain a sound grounding in animal and plant biology, ecology and human, financial and natural resource management. Lodge management and client orientated communication skills are emphasised. Opportunities to attend specialised short courses are also available on an extra-curricular basis. During the practical experiential training year, students work with experienced game ranch managers who act as role models and mentors. In this manner the student gains an expanded work perspective and an ingrained work ethic.
