More about the course
Our Animal Care - Level 1 course is the perfect way to introduce yourself to all aspects of the land-based sector, with a strong focus on animal care. This programme is ideal for anyone who is passionate about animals but needs to gain experience working with them.
During the course, you’ll understand what it’s like to work in land-based industries. You’ll have the opportunity to care for, feed and clean out a variety of different animals, as well as how to maintain their enclosures and work in a clean and safe environment.
This course offers an outstanding balance of both theoretical and practical learning within the unique environment of West Midlands Safari Park, where impressive animals are always close to the classrooms. For our more confident learners, there is the opportunity to complete work experience placements, though all our students will learn key employability skills. Gain essential experience and build the skills to progress onto higher-level courses!
