Explore our range of recognised Animal Care and Management qualifications, designed for learners with different interests, abilities and educational goals.
From introductory Entry Level courses suitable for younger learners to more advanced qualifications in animal care, welfare, husbandry and management, our programmes provide opportunities to develop knowledge, practical skills and confidence.
Whether learners are taking their first steps into animal care or looking to progress towards further education or employment, we offer supportive learning environments and flexible pathways to help them achieve their goals.
We understand that learners have different starting points, abilities and aspirations. Our Animal Care qualifications offer a range of pathways, from introductory courses that develop basic knowledge and practical skills to more advanced programmes requiring greater independence and understanding.
Course suitability is considered individually, taking into account the learner's age, existing knowledge, abilities, support requirements and readiness to meet the qualification's learning and assessment criteria.
Age requirements vary between qualifications. Some City & Guilds qualifications have specified minimum ages, while others have recommended starting ages determined by our learning centres. This means a Level 2 qualification may be suitable for a younger learner than certain Level 1 qualifications. All enrolments remain subject to the awarding organisation's eligibility requirements and our assessment of individual ability and suitability.
Our team can help families, schools and learners identify a suitable starting point and explore opportunities for future progression. Course availability and delivery options may vary by qualification and learning centre.
