Our comprehensive programme of professionally delivered training covers most aspects of shooting sports and takes places in multiple venues throughout the island of Ireland – which we believe makes us truly unique.
Country Sports Ireland training provision ranges from structured, assessed courses where a certificate of competence is achieved such as deer stalking, game meat hygiene or firearms safety to the less formal courses such as gundog training or game management where the emphasis is on developing practical shooting sports skills rather than certification.
However, all Country Sports Ireland training is delivered to the highest standards by fully qualified shooting sports experts and is designed to be an enjoyable and educational experience for learners of all abilities and experience.

Deer Stalking Training Courses 2022
The first Country Sports Ireland Deer Stalking Training Course of 2022 and indeed in the new 2-day format will take place on 12 & 13 March in the ideal surroundings of the Midlands National Shooting Centre of Ireland, Tullamore.
The Country Sports Ireland Deer Stalking Training Course is approved by National Parks and Wildlife Service as meeting the requirements for mandatory training and certification and is also acceptable to Coillte for any person hunting deer under licence on Coillte lands.
Following detailed review, NPWS requested that we move to a two day format from 2022 onwards. The Country Sports Ireland Deer Stalking Training Course will therefore be delivered as follows:
Day 1: Includes detailed presentations and practical demonstrations on species recognition & deer biology, wild deer management, safe and accurate shooting, carcass handling & inspection, common parasites and diseases found in wild deer species in Ireland and includes a 50 question multiple choice written assessment.
Day 2: Includes a shooting assessment on the MNSCoI range and a realistic simulated stalk in the company of an experienced assessor where knowledge/information on safe shooting practices is shared.
