Have you always wanted to care for animals? Animal care is a popular industry to work in so why not set yourself apart from the competition.
Our distance learning courses provide you with the knowledge essential for working with animals. With a diverse range to choose from such as animal behaviour, dog grooming and animal welfare courses, they can open doors for a whole host of exciting career opportunities.
There are different ways you can work with animals. You can study a college course and earn a qualification, complete an apprenticeship, or volunteer. Here are some of the ways you can get work experience while earning your qualification at the same time:
The qualifications you need to work with animals will depend on which career path you want to go down. For example, the qualifications needed for dog grooming are very different to those needed to become a vet.
According to National Careers Service, when starting out as an animal care assistant, you can earn on average £14,000 per year. With more experience, you can earn up to £24,000 per year, all whilst working 38-40 hours per week.
