How does it work?

Instead of putting you in a lecture room all day and giving you theory till your head pops, we do things a little different.  We give you the theory and then go and see how it works in practice.  The biggest complain that I get from aspirant job hunters as well as future employers, is that job hunters lack the practical experience combined with the theory.  We have realised this but also realised that you could master more than one field in only 4 years in the conservation and tourism industry and come out with the practical experience to prove it and increase your changes of getting a job fast with the salary to go with it.

So how do we get this right.  We firstly register you with UNISA for a Diploma in Nature Conservation.  Once you finish this successfully you will have a formal Diploma in Nature Conservation from an internationally recognised UNIVERSITY.  We then start you of by teaching you the finer details of conservation in practise and theory over a period of 4 years.  While doing this we also write you in on an International Diploma in Photography.  In the four years you will also do a course to become a professional hunter and join us on hunting safaris through Africa.  Only one or two students will join at a time as to get maximum exposure.  This is also the case with photographic safaris and walking trails.  You will also go through the process of becoming a professional field guide and will have the opportunity to do game drives and eventually walks with international guests and will be PAID a commission for it.  This way you will pick up valuable experience and be able to pay for your studies yourself.  You will also get involved in community, school, educational and conservation projects.

You will be staying in a communal house where you are responsible for your own cooking, cleaning, gardening and growing vegetables.  You will learn about sustainable living and become your own individual self with values based on good Christian morals.

Once you experience the goodness of living and learning in the bush, you will never want to leave it again.

WE ARE THE ULTIMATE TRAINING INSTITUTION

THAT ONLY TRAIN THE BEST OF THE BEST

How werk dit?

In stede daarvan dat ons jou in ‘n klaskamer sit en heeldag lesings gee tot jou kop wil ontplof, doen ons dinge so ‘n bietjie anders.  Ons gee vir jou die teorie en  gaan kyk dan hoe werk dit in die praktyk.  Die grootste klagte wat ek kry vanaf werk soekers en voornemende werkgewers is dat die werksoekers, nie die praktiese onderving het wat met teorie aangevul word nie.  Ons het dit besef maar het ook besef dat jy opleiding kan kry in meer as een veld in die bewarings en toerusme bedryf oor ‘’ periode van 4 jaar wat natuurlike jou kanse verhoog om werk vinnig te kry en die selaris wat daarmee saamgan

So hoe kry ons dit reg.  Heel eesrte registreer ons jou by UNISA vir ‘n Diploma in Natuur Bewaring.  Wanneer jy klaar is met hierdie sal jy ‘n formele Diploma in natuurbewaring van ‘n internasionaal erkende UNIVERSITEIT hê.  Ons begin jou dan die fynere dingetjies leer van natuurbewaring in die praktyk en in teorie oor ‘n periode van 4 jaar.

Terwyl ons dit doen, skryf ons jou ook in vir ‘n Internasionale diploma in fotografie.  In die 4 jaar sal jy ook ‘n kursus doen as ‘n professionele jagter en ons dan vergesel op jagtogte deur Afrika.  Slegs een of twee studente sal ons vergesel elke keer om blootstelling te maksimiseer.  Hierdie is ook die geval met fotografiese sowel as staptoere.  Jy sal ook deur die proses gaan om ‘n professionele veldgids te word en sal die geleenheid kry om wildritte en eventueel staptoere te doen met internasionale gaste en kommissie daarvoor BETAAL te word.  Op heirdie manier sal jy waardevolle ondervinding optel en so ook vir jou eie studies te betaal. Jy sal ook betrokke raak by gemeenskaps, skool, onderwys en natuurbewarings projekte.

Jy sal in ‘n gemeenskaplike huis bly waar jy verantwoordelik sal wees vir jou eie etes, skoonmaak, tuinwerk en kweek van groente vir die huis. Jy sal leer oor volhoudbaarheid en sal jou eie individu word met waardes gebasseer op goeie Christelike waardes

Wanneer jy eers ondervind het hoe dit vol om in die natuur te bly en te leer, sal jy ons nooit wil verlaat nie.
