Nicholas Raby, NC Gamekeeping

Nicholas credits the wealth of experience he gained at SRUC in securing his new role as BASC’s Country Officer for Scotland.

“Whilst on the course I learnt so much in the year. We were able to gain additional training such as the Deer Management Qualification and ATV certificate as well as units on Stocks and Gas and Pest and Predator control, all adding to my employability.”

“The knowledge of the industry and the practical experience and skills I gained at college has no doubt put me in good stead. As well as having respect for and an insight into firearm legislation I also have an understanding and an appreciation of the role of Gamekeepers and Land Managers. I would thoroughly recommend the course to anyone who enjoys the countryside and the outdoors. It’s a great way of life and a great industry to be part of.”
