I chose this course as I am able to practise my literacy and numeracy skills whilst learning about caring for animals and about different environments. I enjoy practical tasks and this course gives me lots of hands-on learning.
The best part of this course is caring for the animals and the practical handling sessions especially the guinea pigs.
In the future I would like to enrol on the Rural Pathways course at Plumpton College with a view to working in agriculture.
Luc progressed from the 14 - 16 level 1 course to take the level 2 and then 3 in Animal Care, achieving 'Top Student' on the 14-16 course.
