In the second phase, in association with the Southern African Wildlife College, students flew to Hoedspruit, South Africa, for an intense eight-week field training course .Graduate Nayef Al-Wajhan described the program as outstanding, noting that it covered health, field operations safety, monitoring patrols, plant and animal identification and management, as well as report writing and analysis.
