Over the past several months we have been working towards the development of a comprehensive range of innovative courses focusing on Raptor Husbandry at the professional level. These courses have been created to cater to individuals involved in the professional care of birds of prey, including AAL or Zoo Licence holders, Bird Controllers, Vets and Vet Nurses, Wildlife Crime Officers, Local Authority Inspectors and more.
These pioneering courses encompass the essential 9 Core modules, derived from the ‘International Standards for bird of prey welfare’, and are augmented by fresh, high-level extension lessons that delve deeper into subjects such as Legislation and the latest in research.
The ‘Professional Raptor Husbandry courses’ not only serve as an avenue for seasoned experts to augment their Continuing Professional Development but will also be immensely valuable for the training and development of the next generation of bird of prey professionals.
The inaugural course in this series will be released at the beginning of September 2023. Members of the IRBPP are entitled to an exclusive 50% discount on the registration and certification fees.
