Course Overview
This course provides an introduction to animal care and has a practical, vocational focus which is supported with classroom based sessions, all designed to stretch and encourage the development of skills, knowledge, understanding and experience in order to work towards gaining animal related employment.
The Level 1 Introduction to animal care programme is aimed at learners with little or no experience in animal care and are looking for a more vocational route into the animal care sector.
Subjects you will study include animal health and wellbeing, animal handling,
feeding and watering, and animal accommodation.
You will be involved in helping to care for the wide range of animals at the college and working in all areas of the animal centre to provide a wide range of experiential learning.
The excellent Animal Care and Rare Breeds Centre will give you the opportunity to gain valuable practical skills, with access to over a hundred species of animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice, hens, ducks, ferrets, dogs, sheep, goats, pigs and fish. You will also cover a wide range of underpinning knowledge and this combination will give you a head start in your chosen career path.
Learning will be as fun as possible and you will learn through a variety of methods, including classroom based activities, individual and group work, practical work, and will use a range of modern learning technology.
English and maths are an integral part of the programme and we will work with you to improve your literacy and numeracy skills.
