Programme summary

Want to work with animals? Demonstrate your knowledge and application of ethical behaviour in relation to the care and handling of a wide range of animals in different situations. Recognise signs of good health and ill health in a range of animals.

Achieve a basic understanding of animal health, anatomy and physiology, and animal husbandry as they apply to a range of environments – from the vet clinic to the great New Zealand bush. Develop an awareness of the social, ethical and environmental issues animal management faces. Apply your knowledge and understanding of safe work practices, and discover how to communicate effectively within a team. You also learn to demonstrate basic business and customer service skills in the work environment.
