our courses were conducted between June 2019 – May 2020 by Bergplaas with a total of 57 participants from the Tracker Academy (Samara Game Reserve), Cape Nature (Outeniqua and Gamkaberg Nature Reserves), and South African National Parks (Addo National Park and Camdeboo National Park). Seventy five percent of the students who graduated in November 2019, obtained full-time employment within a month of successfully completing the Spirit of the Wild training while the remaining 25% were enrolled for further specialist training, and followed their class mates into permanent employment two months later.
