My passion for animals led me to this course, particularly the hands-on experience at Puxton Park. Highlights included learning about animal adaptations, bonding with animals, and performing daily husbandry tasks.

The staff, from various animal industry sectors, provided incredible support and encouragement. Puxton Park's facilities allowed for both theory and practical work. Guest lectures and placements, like at North Somerset Birds of Prey Centre, offered invaluable industry insights.

This course is designed for people aged 19 or over and is perfect for anyone looking to start a career in the veterinary, zoology, life sciences or any animal or land based career, or considering changing careers to work in these fields.

A career in any animal-based profession empowers you to help people and/or animals, working in a variety of positions and a wide choice of specialties.
