What next?

Lantra Awards and the Hawk Board have together developed and launched an award for would-be falconers and bird of prey keepers along with Lantra SSC the Sector Skills Council for the Land Based and Environmental Sector, ensuring that it was tailored to all falconry and bird of prey keeping needs.

This award has been developed by Lantra Awards with the assistance of falconers throughout the UK, who have helped to define the body of knowledge and practical skills required. It is a formal award intended for those who are new to falconry, or those who wish to keep Raptors and/or Owls. This Award is approved by the Hawk Board and is administered by Lantra Awards.

The Award assumes that candidates have no previous knowledge or experience and covers all aspects up to flying to the fist; after which the raptor can be flown free and taken hunting. Therefore, falconry, in this context, does not mean hunting with birds of prey, although subsequent modules could cover this. Further awards in respect of more
advanced husbandry, breeding and falconry may be introduced later so as to provide a progression path for candidates.

The award is granted to those candidates who are able to demonstrate an understanding of the relevant background knowledge, and those practical skills necessary to keep a Bird of Prey in a healthy and happy condition.

The Award consists of two units:

Unit 1: Bird of Prey management and husbandry

Unit 2: Basic Falconry techniques
