DMQ is pleased to announce the appointment of Rognvald Taylor as the new external verifier (Scotland). The primary responsibility of this post is to quality assure the assessment processes for the award of the Deer Stalking Certificate at the five DMQ-accredited assessment centres in Scotland.

Mr Taylor is at present an external verifier with the Scottish Qualifications Authority for game management and agriculture and has recently left the post of assistant principal at North Highland College (Thurso). He has extensive deer management experience and has had a close relationship with DMQ over many years.
