May 2016: Raptor Awards – the only Awarding and Accrediting body for those that keep or work with Birds of Prey – has launched a revolutionary Approved Training Provider network.
“This is a major leap forward in the range and quality of education available for Bird of Prey Keepers and those who work commercially with Raptors” said Director Julie Murphy today.
Finding a good Falconry School or mentor to help newcomers get to grips with the skills required to keep Birds of Prey to the highest Standard has always been a hit and miss affair. At last it will be possible to easily locate quality assured training providers delivering courses that meet the National and Occupational Standards for Birds of Prey.
