Animal Management National Award Level 3

Animal Management National Award Level 3
The equivalent of one A level, this course enables students to develop a range of real employability skills and techniques as well as the personal qualities and attitudes essential for success in a working life with animals.

What does the course involve?
This very practical course suits students who enjoy working outdoors and with animals, but may also be suitable for those who may be considering work in this sector as its content is broad enough to allow movement into other areas.

Students will spend at least one day each week out of the class room engaged in visits, practical activities and small-scale simulation experiences.

What will I study?
Animal Biology Investigating the structure and function of the animal body and the balance and imbalance of bodily systems, allowing more effective animal management and health monitoring.

Animal Rehabilitation A look at how we care for ill or injured wild animals with a view to their rehabilitation and reintroduction into the wild.

Animal Behaviour Studying how animals survive and live together or on their own. Find out about the relationships animals develop in their own groups and with other species.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have to study all week?
Course units will be taught on different days of the week depending on the College timetable. Students are expected to use free time to research and assignments.

Will I have a work placement?
No, not for the Award.

Will I have to pay for any materials?
The College provides materials for the course but students must supply their own outdoor clothing (including steel toe-capped boots). We work in all conditions, so purpose made country wear, hiking clothes, army surplus or equivalent kit are ideal. A day bag is also useful.
