I’ve been passionate about caring for animals from a young age. I knew Nescot had a farm with a wide variety of animals and decided to enrol on the T-Level course after an Open Day visit. The course offers widespread knowledge and hands-on skills. It’s a great balance of theory lessons in the classroom and practical learning in the Animal Care Unit onsite. I’m able to take what I’ve learnt into my work setting.

Whether you’re beginning your journey in animal care or looking to progress towards higher-level study, our animal care and management courses offer practical learning and recognised qualifications.
