Bushwise Recensioni 85

Upon discovering Bushwise I knew that the 6 month course plus a placement would be the perfect fit for me! Overall it didn’t disappoint! The Bushwise trainers are the people that make the course what it is and there is no complaints regarding them! Their knowledge and ability to get the best of if you is high level!
The course as a whole I think can be structured better with more time focussing on topics or activities many people wouldn’t have done before! The external companies Bushwise use to help with the training are very good! Some of the activities need to be planned better and the training given needs to be more catered to specific people’s needs rather than a group as a whole.
I have had communication problems with Bushwise, often waiting for days to reply at a time. Not over minor issues either, over matters that are important to me being able to continue on the course!
The Southern African Wildlife College is a good campus, the location of being so close to Kruger National Park is a huge draw! The concession we can drive is very limited often having to drive the same roads everyday! Bushwise seems to restricted on any changes that can be made on the campus. The food is very hit and miss! Honestly you probably get 1 good meal a week, which isn’t good when you are following a busy schedule.
Overall I would recommend Bushwise as they have an ability to get the best out of the students they are learning! However, I think the experience would be a lot better on a different campus! I’ve made a friend of life and if anything that is the best thing to come from the course!

A high intensity super jam packed course that brings you directly into the bush and on track with all you need to know. The trainers are amazing with incredible knowledge and knowhow that they share with you.

The course schedule for the NQF2 is a high intensity one and you will need to study hard, advice would be to start already at home with recommended books as stated on the bushwise website. As always, when you already know some basics you can only become better! Every day is a safari day out here! The campus is directly situated in the bush and has facilities to make life out here, away from home even better. Wildlife, bush, swimming pool and your occasional visit back into towns.

I really liked the growth of everyone on the course on a personal level and professional too, the trainers have personal interest in every student and will take the time for you to get you where you need to be. So yes, I recommended the course with bushwise! They are attentive and will run the extra mile for you to get you started on your guiding adventure.

What is you don’t want to be a guide? Well get ready to be amazed and have the skills, knowledge and amazing experiences for a trip of a lifetime.

No course if perfect, there might be personal hiccups on the way or things that are not a 100% correct. But remember, this is Africa and we are all human. Bushwise understands this and always tries to learn from mistakes and or tries to change situations for the benefit of the students. In this you can trust Bushwise to protect the interest of the student.

So longs story short, you up to learn, be amazed and get unmatched bush experience: choose Bushwise!

I loved doing the 60 day Bushwise course , it’s a really good alternative to doing the 6 month course if you’re struggling for time. It’s hard work and very condensed so you have to be prepared to be busy the whole time! But it’s really fun and really worth it. Our trainer Andrew was great too!!

Course parameters and learning were good couldn’t apply what we learnt practically at SAWC and lost out on a lot of animal behaviour

Bushwise is an excellent training provider to become a field guide. Everything was run well. Only criticism I may have is due to the amount of information you learn, some of the learning components feel rushed. Otherwise incredible training provider.

Bushwise it's one of the best field guides training institutions. Their staff is friendly and well equipped for the job. It has been an interesting journey for me to be part of bushwise. I got equipped with various skills and knowledge ranging from Botany, Birds, Hospitality, Track and signs, Conducting game drives, Riffle handing and Shooting, and many other useful things. I will forever be grateful for being part of bushwise.

The kindness, honesty and learning experience that was recieved for the people such as Claudia, Darren, Nico, FP and Trevor.

I joined the Bushwise course for the online program and absolutely loved it. The passion showed by the trainers is second to none, and I learned so much in 12 weeks. Definitely recommend this as a way to gain knowledge about wildlife and decide if you're interested in a career in guiding or something related.

I have had the most amazing amazing time at Bushwise and I simply can’t recommend this course enough! I’ve learnt so much and met some truly incredible and inspiring people. A special mention to Uncle Pines and Trevor who have taught me so much and have made the course so much more special and memorable; you have become two of my biggest role models! Definitely one of the best experiences of my life and I’m really going to miss it!

Great Instructors, facilities and environment. A very inviting and inclusive atmosphere.

Testimonial.

Bushwise has grown to be my home, my family and I have without a dought learnt so much and gained so much experience that I will take with me for the rest of my life.

Starting the course seemed Scary at first, and I felt like the six months on campus would feel like forever, but now, closer to the end, it felt like yesterday that I walked through the doors, clueless about the bush. Its also been everything but scary. Yes the assignments seem like alot sometimes, and halfway through the course you are going to feel so tired of hearing the same things,( community spider nests ) . But It has been the best six months of my life and I would do it all over again if I could. I've proven to myself time after time that I'm capable of so much more than I thought. I've met so many people with the same love for nature and friendships that will last a life time

I wil always recommend Bushwise if anyone is thinking of becoming a researcher, a conservationist, a field guide, or just loves the Bush.
Saying all this, I will just add that this course is alot of hard work and dedication. It will test you and is not for people that just want to go out and have fun, and not work or study at all. But the amazing thing is that all that hard work pays off every time. And If you love the Bush and bring you're all every single day, it's not even going to feel like hard work at all.

The amount of things the trainers have learnt me in just six months, is crazy. They have every student at heart, and are people you wil have in you're life forever. Every trainer wil have their own way of teaching/guiding, and one of them wil always for work for you. They are not just trainers and at the end of the course you wil call them part of you're family.

If anyone is Struggling to find a good place to study the bush, or stuck between training providers , I wil say Choose Bushwise, and I'll say it over and over again. It will meet all you're expectations and more, and you wil not want to leave the campus at the end. I will alway thank Bushwise for the guide they've made me today, and for the experience I will take with me forever.

Bushwise is an incredible experience. You will learn so much about the environment, the world of guiding and conservation, and also yourself. I could not be more thankful to the trainers and staff at Bushwise. The course is tough, it's a lot of hard work, early mornings, and long hours, but I would not trade it for anything. The experience, knowledge, and certifications you obtain after those long hours are worth it. Halfway through the second semester, I broke an ankle and I feared I wouldn't make it through the course, but the trainers and staff were unbelievably accommodating and helpful. I have trainers and fellow students that will certainly be lifetime friends.

Ex-Trainer Nico, the first week hat we were here, I had my first game drive and it was the best and that inspired me to do my best so that I could give my mom, dad and sister their first game drive as well.

Where to begin? At the start ot the 6 Months I was a city boy with little Knowledge and turned into this man
that can guide people about the wild. I ve learned so much, from the smallest ot insects all the way to how the weather works. I enjoyed the bush walks alot while
doing trails and track and sign. The ARH was very thrilling. The campas life , meeting
new people making memories and random trips to town is what Kept us going. I had training equipment to stay fit and a swimming pool for the hot days. For new students, study. You have to study with the time you have and make sure you workobooka are up to date. Always have enough snacks and rest when you can. I learned that alot of food and sleep helps me get through the months.

This has not only been a life changing experience, but also enabled me to get a foot in the door in this industry. There is a reason why Bushwise are industry leading training providers. Two of the trainers have participated and won their respective categories for Safari guide of the year. They also partner with top-rated external service provider to ensure that all their training standards go above and beyond the stipulated NQF 2 level, thus again ensuring that their alumni excell in the industry. Furthermore, Bushwise has partnered with amazing 4-5 star destinations for placements, providing you with valuable real world experience.

Bushwise is a great course to attend, if you have a love for the African bush you'll love this course! It's not for the light hearted though and it's important to fully prepare yourself before getting into action. The trainers and other staff at Bushwise are extremely helpful and they take our motto "students at heart" very seriously, it's been amazing and the support is indescribable. Thank you Bushwise!

This is the most fun and Challenging education i have ever come across and this is really only for hard workers who are ready to give it their all. This course changed my life.

My experience at bushwise has been amazing. I have always loved the bush but didn’t know can I expand my knowledge about the bush but I didn’t know where to go coming at bushwise has been the best decision. Trainers and staff are very cool each day you always feel like you are home

Very thorough coverage of all subject matter, and applying in a practical context. The course is individually tailored to focus on every student's strengths and work on areas of improvement. Highly recommend 👌

It’s been super cool, I’ve learnt a ton and got to meet really cool people.
