Structured Qualification Support & Professional Assessment
Dixon Deer Management provides structured training and assessment support for individuals progressing through recognised deer management qualifications.
Our training provision is designed to develop competence, strengthen field capability and support candidates preparing for formal certification pathways.
Pre-Qualification Preparation
We offer structured preparation for candidates working towards recognised deer management qualifications, including support prior to DSC 1 and DSC 2 assessment stages.
Preparation focuses on practical understanding, ethical fieldcraft and compliance awareness rather than informal recreational experience.
Lantra PDS Assessments
Professional Deer Stalking (PDS) assessments are delivered in accordance with Lantra standards, ensuring structured, objective evaluation of candidate competence.
Assessment is conducted within a professional framework aligned to recognised industry criteria.
Practical Field-Based Learning
Training takes place within real working environments across Northumberland, offering exposure to structured deer management practice rather than artificial scenarios.
This ensures that candidates develop understanding of both fieldcraft and the wider responsibilities of compliant deer management.
Progression & Professional Standards
Training is aligned with industry-recognised standards and ongoing CPD. Candidates are supported in developing competence that reflects the expectations of modern land management and estate-level operations.
Our approach prioritises professionalism, accountability and responsible field practice.
