Animal Care – Level 2 Work-Based

ANIMAL CARE LEVEL 2 WORK-BASED AT A GLANCE

You’ll gain hands-on experience at our purpose-built Animal Health and Welfare Research Centre with reptiles, small mammals, zoo mammals, companion animals and farm livestock.

This course is ideal for students who may benefit from taking two years to develop the confidence, knowledge and qualifications needed to progress onto the T Level, particularly if they still need to achieve a grade 4 or above in GCSE English and/or Maths. Students complete the Level 2 Work-Based Diploma in Year 1, followed by the Level 2 Technical Certificate in Year 2. This pathway provides additional time to achieve the required GCSE English and/or Maths qualifications while developing the knowledge, skills and practical experience needed for progression. Students who achieve the required entry requirements during this programme will be able to progress directly onto the T Level after completing the Level 2 Technical Certificate. The timetable consists of two days of theory lessons and one day of practical lessons each week.
