Porcupine Encounter: Site Broomfield Hall

Course Content: The course will cover the care of porcupines including handling, health checking, cleaning out and feeding. How will I be assessed? Assessment is by observation of your practical performance. A College Certificate of Attendance will be issued on completion of the course. Are there any additional costs or specialist equipment required? Steel toe-cap boots should be worn and these can be borrowed from the unit if you do not have your own. (Please check we have your size when booking on the course.) You should wear trousers/jeans. Protective lab coats are worn when in the animal unit and these will be provided for you on the day. What can I do after this course? You may wish to participate in further Animal Care courses that the College offers to enhance your skills. We run a range of one-day, weekend and evening courses relating to animals and a wide range of other land-based topics - please see the Derby College Part-time Prospectus for a full list and details.
