Jägar­examen in English

Finally Jägarexamen in English

Jonas Vildmark Bushcraftcenter are now offering the Swedish Hunters Exam – Jägarexamen in English. Us knowingly, we are pretty much alone offering a complete Swedish hunters education, stretching over a longer period of time, to English speaking Hunters to be.

We have been running Bushcraft classes since 2008, in both Swedish and English. And we have been offering Jägarexamen in Swedish, in different shapes, since 2016 and through the years we often have been asked the question, if we also offer Jägarexamen in English.

Unfortunately, the course literature and the tests aren’t available in any other language than Swedish, here in Sweden. Therefore, we up until now, only have offered Jägarexamen in Swedish.

But after constant and inspiring new requests from our customers, we now have decided to launch our own training in English based upon our experience and material from teaching Jägarexamen since now 8 years back.

So now we are offering a unique Jägarexamen in English.

The setup

The course literature is still in Swedish, but we offer our own Swedish/English glossary to help translating the keywords of technical components, animal denominations and so on.

You study the Swedish literature at home, with distance support from us.

We offer a number of digital live webinars during which Jonas lecture in English covering the basics of the Swedish course literature, using his own produced English material.

When you feel ready for it, you’ll be taking the theoretical test conducted by an Examiner that takes the language barrier into consideration. He or she can support you if you have questions while taking the theoretical test. The test will still be in Swedish, but you have the possibility to ask the Examiner questions in English during the test.

When on the practice shooting range, Jonas will instruct you in English. And when it’s time for the practical tests, held by English speaking Examiners, Jonas also will be precent in the background as your support.

Note that here in Sweden the Educator and the Examiner must be two different persons. Jonas will be your Educator/Instructor and English-speaking Examiners from a Swedish Hunters Association will conduct the tests, both theoretical and practical.

To summarize it in bullets…
