Deer Management Qualifications (DMQ) exists to promote high standards in the humane management of wild deer. This objective is supported by the deer industry and is achieved by providing candidates with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and competence through Deer Stalking Certificates: DSC1 and DSC2.
This site is designed:
to provide initial information to potential candidates for DSC1 and DSC2; and
to inform current holders of DSC1 and DSC2 of changes to the standard, best practice, and other news.
