We also suggest you contact African Global Skills Academy (AGSA) : www.africanglobalacademy.co.za as they offer the course in PE and may know who provides the service in the cape. Consult the webpage for contact details and further information: (http://www.sawma.co.za/images/AGSA_guardianship.doc). Similarly Southern African Wildlife College (http://www.wildlifecollege.org.za/) may also be able to provide information.

The Cape Peninsular University of Technology also offers nature Conservation Qualifications however at National Diploma level. Maybe someone in their faculty will be able to give you some ideas of who to contact: http://info.cput.ac.za/prospectus_3/qual_new.php?q=200&f=3

We hope this information will help you to find a training provider. Please let us know how you get on.
