West Midland Safari Park seeks students for level three training scheme

By Tom Anstey    30 Jun 2016
The training scheme offers future careers in animal management and care

West Midland Safari Park in Worcestershire is seeking a crop of young students to take part in a new Animal Management training course.

Working alongside the Birmingham Metropolitan College, the level three extended diploma course for students aged 16 plus will start in September, running alongside the zoo’s existing level two diploma in Animal Care.

The two-year training scheme will include three days a week based in the park and one day per week at Kidderminster Academy. Applicants must hold a level two qualification in an animal related subject or have appropriate GCSEs to be considered for the course.

Included in the curriculum will be lectures, practical work, coursework and exams. Students will also carry out work placements to build on their study.

“We are excited to offer the extended Animal Management Course as it provides a fantastic platform for students to progress their knowledge and experience within the animal field,” said Caroline Richards, head of learning at West Midland Safari Park.

“Our lecturers are not only knowledgeable and experienced teachers, but they all have industry experience, which is vital to help prepare students for their future careers.”
