The Falconry Level 3 Advanced Diploma delves into the sophisticated aspects of falconry, offering students a thorough understanding of the science, techniques, and practices required for advanced bird handling and training. Beginning with advanced training methods, the course covers critical topics such as hunting strategies, disease management, and health care of raptors. It offers a deep dive into raptor biology and behavior, including avian physiology, the ethology of birds of prey, and their conservation status in the wild.

Breeding and reproduction are also essential components of the curriculum, focusing on the care and management of captive breeding programs, incubation processes, and chick rearing techniques. The course further extends into equipment and facilities management, where students will learn how to maintain falconry equipment, design and manage raptor facilities, and navigate the legal and ethical considerations surrounding falconry.

Field training takes center stage with an emphasis on game hawking, flight training for hawks and falcons, and the use of lures and squirrel hawking to enhance hunting techniques. The final segment of the course addresses the role of falconry in conservation, including its use in research, the monitoring of wild raptors, and data collection for wildlife management. This course provides both practical skills and theoretical knowledge for aspiring falconers and those involved in raptor conservation.
