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 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.
A one day per week work placement is an integral part of the course as well
as other opportunities to work with employers either on site or as guest
speakers.
