There is a dedicated dog exercise area and grooming room, outdoor and indoor aviaries, outdoor runs for ducks, hens, geese and rabbits, and a wildlife area. Students carry out health and husbandry tasks adhering to a high standard of animal welfare and the courses include a wide range of theory and practical elements, preparing students for industry. The Animal Management Qualification consists of a synoptic theory exam and a synoptic assignment which entails both practical and written work. Our Animal Studies tutors have a vast range of skills and years of experience working with animals, including dog grooming in the UK and caring for reptiles as part of private zoo collections.

Visits to zoos and local farms and frequent workshops by local experts are some of the enrichment activities you can expect to be part of the Animal Studies course at Craven College. Students usually progress onto the Level 3 course after studying GCSEs – If you don’t quite meet the entry requirements to enroll onto the Level 3, you may still be able to enroll on a smaller Level 3 qualification (Level 3 Advanced Technical Certificate/Diploma) as an alternative. We will confirm which option is best for you at enrolment in August based on your grades.
