West Highland College UHI is joining with Nevis Landscape Partnership to offer this rewarding and fast-paced course through the Nevis Volunteer Ranger Scheme so you can gain nationally recognised qualifications whilst working alongside well-known conservation bodies and landowners.
You'll learn a wide range of practical skills, as well as specialising in Ranger Training, land use and visitor management issues. A regular one day a week work placement will put you in touch with potential employers and help you understand practical conservation, habitat monitoring and visitor related tasks.
You'll also gain industry awards in specialist skills such as dry-stone walling, chainsaw use, quad bikes, navigation, tree survey and outdoor first fid, as well as your SQA Awards, John Muir Explorer's award, and College Certificate.
