The Game Meat Hygiene Course is a well-established National Gamekeepers’ Organisation course that gives you the trained hunter status upon pacing the training.

The course is one day and covers small and large game meat hygiene from field to larder.

Successful candidates will be issued with a unique hunters ID number which authorises them to sell game meat to game handling establishments. This is a legal requirement for all hunters wishing to sell game to game dealers.

The National Gamekeepers' Organisation’s game meat hygiene course is now regarded as the industry standard in game meat handling.

The course has a short multiple-choice test at the end of the day to ensure competency and is certified and certificated by the NGO and the Food Standards Agency (FSA).

Members £150.00

Non-Members £200.00

Are you a vet who has witnessed excellence in the field with regards to the welfare of gamebirds?

If you have and think they deserve to be recognised, why not nominate them for the Husbandry & Welfare Award category in the Conservation Champions Awards 2024, brought to you by the NGO and Marsdens Game Feeds ?

The 2023 winner was Craig Dennis from Thorney Moss Game. Voted for by vets, Craig was put forward due to his approach to adopting innovative and forward-thinking rearing systems, including the use of renewable energy sources, and combining high levels of biosecurity and good feed management which results in better-quality and healthier birds.

These prestigious awards help to highlight and promote individual conservation success stories across the UK which often go unnoticed.

Aimed at shoots, estates and gamekeepers, they highlight the positive impact their excellent work has on our wildlife, biodiversity, and the countryside.

If you would like to nominate someone for one of the five categories (Innovation, Habitat, Responsible Land Management, Husbandry & Welfare and The Marsdens Special Awards) follow this link https://bit.ly/CCAs2024 to complete the nomination form.

Closing date for nominations is Friday 15 March 2024.
