Course overview
The Animal Management Unit and College estate is utilised throughout the qualification to help students develop a wide range of skills. These include practical hands-on skills whilst looking after animals and the wider skills needed in the workplace, such as teamwork and, in the second year, supervising others. The qualification provides a diverse knowledge base and covers not only the finer details of animal care but wildlife management and ecology, conservation, and management skills. These skills are developed through practical sessions during timetabled lessons and animal duties. Work experience and duties take place outside normal College hours and will include early morning duties, holidays, and weekends throughout the course. Additional short employability driven courses are available during each academic year. These courses support students wishing to gain meaningful part time work during their studies. These short courses are available for Level 3 students but are subject to an additional registration & certification fee.
