ETHOS, TRADITION & VALUES

Africa’s leading Field Guide, Wildlife & Hospitality Management School...

 
 
ABT is one of the industry's most innovative and exciting seats of learning, with our head quarters based in Phalaborwa and main campus located in the Greater Kruger National Park.

While ABT exhibits many features of the traditional 'Bush' school, our uniquely robust approach to such issues as students’ personal growth and professional development continues to win the respect of educationalists worldwide. The school is built on TRADITION, ETHOS, DISCIPLINE and VALUES and this is underwritten by everything we do at ABT...

Founded by conservationist , veteran lodge manager and Kruger Park trails ranger, Mr. Johann Jurgens in the early 2000's, this school has grown from what started out to be a small scale training facility, to a leading provider of high quality Qualification- and Learning Programme- Certificate courses.

In formulating his original concept for ABT thirty years ago, Principle Johann Jurgens adhered firmly to the classical dictum mens sana in corpore sano - a healthy mind in a healthy body. He was determined to focus on providing students from all backgrounds with the opportunity to learn and kick start successful careers in the Field Guide, Wildlife and Hospitality Management field.

ABT is supported by a team of reputable and well-respected instructors, all of whom are specialists in their respective fields. They are attracted to work with ABT on a full-time or part-time basis by the opportunity it provides for them to share knowledge and experience with a new generation of conservationist and wildlife ambassadors- and all of them take exceptionally deep interests in their charges...

As a result, ABT puts strong emphasis on the standard and quality of our courses, providing our students with the opportunity to build meaningful portfolios of skills evidence and competency.

We are especially proud of our policy of integrated learning. That, we believe, encourages students not only in the achievement of qualifications, but also in developing personal and professional competency aligned with industry requirement, and we monitor their progress in those areas constantly and extremely closely.
 
The unique ABT educational philosophy stresses, however, that a healthy balance between theoretical and practical training must be maintained throughout the presentation of all our courses.

ABT holds to the principle that holistic learning should be integrated into all curriculums and learning programs. As followers of the 'wilderness' school tradition, we entrust this to both the unique location of our campuses and the valuable contributions made by our trainers in training.

With a long standing track record of academic success, ABT continues to strife towards excellence as we live up to our reputation as Africa’s leading provider of trained and skilled personnel to the Field Guide, Wildlife and Hospitality industry.

Black Mambas use their incredible speed to escape threats, not to hunt prey. #ReptileMonday

Learn more at https://abt-edu.com Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) - © Johan Marais Classification: VERY DANGEROUS This is by far the largest venomous snake in Africa with a maximum length of 4.5 m (specimens over 3.8 m are rare). Despite its reputation it is a shy, elusive snake that is quick to escape but will not hesitate to strike repeatedly if cornered. It is active during the day, often basking near a hole in an anthill or large rock crevice where it quickly disappears into if disturbed. When threatened it will gape exposing the black inner lining of the mouth and it may form a narrow hood. The venom of this snake is potently neurotoxic and may cause difficulty with breathing within half an hour. Symptoms include a numbness of the lips, slurred speech, ptosis and progressive weakness. Antivenom is effective but often required in large quantities (10 – 15 vials). They get their name not from their skin color, which tends to be olive to gray, but rather from the blue-bla

  Learn more at https:abt-edu.com The purple-crested turaco (Tauraco porphyreolophus) is a species of bird in the family Musophagidae. It clambers acrobatically through riverine woodland and savanna thickets. In flight it explodes from the canopy with distinctive deep red panels in the wings. It produces a distinctive croaking “khoh-khoh-khoh-khoh….” that gets progressively louder before suddenly stopping. The Purple-crested Turaco is a fruit-eater. Its glossy and colourful plumage makes this bird very attractive for humans. Turacos have been hunted in the past for their beautiful red flight feathers used as adornments by African people. Today, this species has adapted to suburban life, especially in Durban. The Purple-crested Turaco is frugivorous and feeds on fruits from numerous plant species. It forages in canopy, picking the fruits by perching at the end of the branches. This bird does not feed on the ground, except in captivity. The small fruits are swallowed whole, whereas
