Course Summary (Just briefly)
The first day is snake awareness and first aid. This includes snake identification and handling of non-venomous snakes. The first aid involves practical situations i.e. you (or your buddy) have just been bitten by a cape cobra/puffadder etc.
The second day is venomous snake handling for the three species - Cape Cobra, Puff Adder, and Boomslang.
There will be a written test; straight forward not too scientific. After successfully completing the course each will receive a certificate. The certificate will be sent to you by post.
The CRI Snake Awareness, Identification and Handling course is FGASA endorsed. Feel free to confirm this on the FGASA website:
