Online Tracking Enthusiast Course
The online Tracking Enthusiast programme provides a comprehensive introduction to animal tracking. The nine live lectures are led by a team of experienced trackers.


Ancient knowledge
Tracking is an ancient art that forms the basis of all bushcraft.
Animal tracking is more complex than most people might think. All aspects of tracking may take years to master but with the correct guidance, you can learn to identify several species’ tracks in a surprisingly short space of time.
Learners are shown how to identify tracks and interpret animals’ gaits and behaviour, including important signs to be aware of while tracking potentially dangerous animals on foot.
