Raising Standards Together: Team Training with S&H Academy

At S&H Academy, we are proud to work with businesses, estates and organisations that share our commitment to high professional standards. Helping employers develop knowledgeable, capable teams is an important part of what we do—and a responsibility we take seriously.
When employees work with firearms, manage wildlife or make decisions in the countryside, their knowledge matters. Employers need confidence that staff understand their responsibilities, recognise risks and can put their learning into practice. Good training creates a shared foundation for safer working and sound judgement.

Training that reflects the work your team does

We support employers across forestry, conservation, estate management, pest control and the public sector. As a LANTRA and UK Rural Skills Approved Training Provider, S&H Academy offers accredited training pathways covering subjects including deer management, airgun proficiency, night shooting and woodland mammal impact assessment.

Our approach starts with understanding your team: their roles, existing experience and the responsibilities they carry. From there, we can recommend relevant courses and combine accredited learning with your organisation’s internal procedures.

Supporting confidence, competence and accountability

Keeping knowledge current deserves a place in every organisation’s training plans. Legislation, guidance and operational requirements can change, while experienced employees can benefit from revisiting the principles behind their everyday decisions.

We believe high standards come from understanding both how to carry out a task and why a particular approach matters. Training should encourage that understanding and help employees recognise when they need further advice or support.

Flexible online learning allows staff to study around work commitments, with practical assessment options where required. Employers can track learner progress, while certification provides a record of achievement to support training records and audits. Bulk enrolment discounts are also available.


Trusted by Leading Organisations

We are proud to support professionals from recognised organisations including Rentokil, Chessington World of Adventures, 360 Wildlife, Orkin and many others. Their learner feedback highlights the care taken during practical assessments and the value of training that supports an understanding of relevant legislation and industry guidance. For employers, estates and training managers, this reflects our commitment to delivering learning that makes a meaningful difference in the workplace.
