RE: Venemous handling course

I don't think you can Shermy with out being a member of WIRES or Sydney Wildlife. The only other way that I know of is by being in an emergency service such as Fire Brigade, Police or NPWS etc. I know that WIRES do a reptile handling courses for these and other groups.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

You cant get a certificate that is currency for use with working life, ie that attracts insurance coverage and or workers comp.

RE: Venemous handling course

Alan,
I thought you were a Wires member, why don't you see if their are any places left on the Nov 5-6 course?
Or Have you left Wires now??

Failing that, if you are prepared to go down to VIC then Simon W runs one down there.

RE: Venemous handling course

What are you actually after Sherm. What are your reasons for wanting to do it?

Hello Jimmy I'll let you know. I'm not sure if you need to be "hooked" up to attend the course, but I was advised that I may have to go due to work commitments. PM you details if or when I know though!

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Venemous handling course

I'd be very interested in doing one too, so if anyone can hook Alan up with anything could I please be included. I'm sick of hearing about people (at work, etc) killing RBBS's! I want to be able to get them out of the sheds at work and neighbours houses safely.
