Accredited Training - Chengeta Wildlife

Building a Profession

We have developed an internationally recognised, accredited career pathway for conservation law enforcement professionals.

Assured by City & Guilds and the Institute of Leadership & Management, Chengeta Wildlife is helping establish standards for ranger training, transforming conservation from well-intentioned action into a defined, professional discipline.

Supporting Accredited Conservation Education

250+ rangers receiving accredited certification

3 accredited programmes in delivery across 5 countries

The conservation sector has long relied on dedication and courage, but has often lacked structure, consistency, and recognised career progression.

Rangers operate in one of the world’s most demanding professions, yet there has never been a unified, accredited pathway to develop, recognise, and advance their skills.

Why choose a job where there is limited opportunity for career progression and little formal recognition?

We are helping to change that.

Assured & Recognised

Rather than asking others to trust our methods, we chose to place our programmes under external scrutiny. With more than 145 years of experience in vocational education across over 100 countries, City & Guilds assessed our programmes against internationally recognised quality standards, providing independent assurance of their design, delivery and assessment.

Built with field-tested methods and aligned with international best practice, including from the International Ranger Federation, Universal Ranger Support Alliance and IUCN, these programmes provide a structured pathway for professional development

Why does this matter?

Accredited training means credible, recognised qualifications rather than simple attendance certificates, and confidence in the quality of training.
Clear career progression: from Field Ranger to Leader and Instructor, our programmes provide a structured pathway and transferrable skills for professional development and long-term conservation careers, with additional specialist courses under development.
Coherence while remaining practical and relevant to the realities of conservation.
