The Hullโ€™s Tracking School in Faber, Virginia [US] offers the chance to attend Mantracking courses in Europe under the guidance of Kyt Lyn Walken Allsopp, Instructor and Official Representative.

Complete offer includes: TACTICAL TRACKING – SEARCH AND RESCUE TRACKING – FORENSIC TRACKING courses.

The courses are dedicated to all those who want to approach this millenary science, deepening not only the intimate knowledge of the area around us, but also their own survival skills.

The courses are designed to teach (and consequentially to consolidate) the skils of Mantracking; they provide theoretical lessons supported by a large amount of practical tests, as per the U.S. model, proof of what has been learned.

The courses are divided into three levels: a basic course followed by an intermediate and an advanced course. The courses can be tailored on civilians as well on Army and Law Enforcement. One to one courses are also available.

Army personnel, as already occurred, can take part to civil courses if they wish.
