Four respected partners – Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge Colleges and SAC – have merged to become Scotland’s Rural College – SRUC. We exist to deliver comprehensive skills, education and business support for Scotland’s land-based industries, founded on world class and sector-leading research, education and consultancy. The integration of these three complementary ‘knowledge exchange’ services is of significant value to all with an interest in land-based activities – be they learners, businesses, communities or policy-makers.
This course offers a theoretical foundation along with practical experience of caring for animals. Covering how to feed, handle, and accommodate (mainly) small animals safely, it's a great option for anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of animals as well as learning how to look after them well.The course also helps to develop core skills like communication and numeracy, which support their classroom learning and experience.
