The Falconry Techniques: From Basics to Advanced Training course consists of 8 structured lectures, followed by an assessment and final exam, each addressing a key area of falconry knowledge and ethical awareness.
The course begins with an introduction to falconry, exploring its history, traditions, legal context in the UK, and an overview of native raptors and their characteristics.
Falconry equipment and tools introduce awareness of essential equipment, housing concepts, and equipment selection, presented for educational understanding rather than construction or use.
Understanding raptors examines anatomy, physiology, species awareness, and behavioural characteristics of birds of prey.
Falconry basics explore handling awareness, training concepts, and health and nutrition principles at a non-operational, theoretical level.
Training and working with birds introduce general training approaches, problem-solving awareness, and the conceptual relationship between falconry and traditional hunting practices, without instructional detail.
Advanced falconry examines higher-level training concepts, breeding awareness, and the broader conservation role of falconry from an educational perspective.
Falconry ethics and conservation focus on ethical responsibility, conservation contributions, and high-level awareness of rehabilitation and release practices, without authorisation or instruction.
Certification and falconry community explore pathways for learning, mentorship, clubs, and continued education in an informational context, without implying eligibility for licensing or certification.
