Our Level 3 Animal Management Diploma at Duchy College is an exciting stepping stone on your way to a rewarding career working with animals. This course can be studied as a one-year Advanced Diploma in Animal Management Diploma or as a two-year Extended Advanced Diploma in Animal Management, and we will work with you to decide which option will be the best choice for you. The full two-year course is the direct equivalent to 3 A Levels. Our state-of-the-art animal management centers at Duchy College Rosewarne and Duchy College Stoke Climsland provide dedicated access to a huge range of animal species such as small mammals, exotics, birds, aquatics, and farm animals. Learners will also have the opportunity to visit and access real industry environments. Caring for animals can be an extremely fulfilling and rewarding career; from working in kennels and catteries to wildlife rescue, there is a wide range of careers available upon successful completion of the course. Completing this course will allow you to start your career in the animal care industry or prepare you for university. If you find an area of study you love whilst completing the course you can choose to go on to further study at university, for example qualifying as an animal nutritionist, zoologist, behaviorist, or conservationist. In your first year you will study subjects such as feeding and nutrition, behaviour, welfare, and small animal rehabilitation. As part of some units, as well as others, you will have the opportunity to gain practical skills and put your new knowledge into use! We also offer a range of trips; this range from day trips to local animal attractions all the way up to an amazing chance to travel to Africa and assist the Conservation effort. There will also be lots of opportunities to build your confidence, use your initiative, and develop your skills which will help you progress in the next stage of your life whatever you choose to go on to do.
You will need to achieve 5 GCSE’s at grade 4 or above which must include English, Math and Science.
You will be assessed in a variety of ways, including a synoptic assessment, exam, and coursework. End of year exam: There will be a 2 hour question paper to sit around Easter in both Year 1 and Year 2 that will test your knowledge and understanding on the mandatory units. Synoptic Assessment: This will be a number of small tasks for you to complete within a time frame under exam conditions. This could include both written and practical elements. Other assessments: In addition to your end test and your synoptic assessment, you will also undertake a short Health and Safety test and a longer Biology test. You will also be required to complete some written assignments for the other modules, which aren’t assessed through examination. Work Experience Portfolio: You will need to complete a portfolio of evidence for your time with the employer.
