This course can either be studied at Wakefield College or Selby
College.
If you’re serious about a career working with animals, this is the study
programme for you.
You’ll be learning by handling the animals in the College’s collection of
small mammals and exotic species, undertaking work experience placements and
going on visits such as to The Deep, Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Swithens
Farm.
You will gain a wide variety of skills and techniques by working in a
realistic animal care environment that includes a range of small mammals and
exotic animals.
You will work on your own as well as in a group, developing your independent
study skills. Class based lessons will give you a full understanding of the
theory of working with animals and expand your knowledge for assessments. During
the course of the academic year, you will be involved in relevant visits,
locally and nationally. There will also be an opportunity to gain hands on
experience either as an individual, independent work placement or supported
group placement.
Please Note: Work placement opportunities will be
available.
