The HND course in Animal Management covers a broad range of issues relating to small animals as well as livestock. It is a popular progression route for the students on the BTEC National Diploma course which provides students with a scientific understanding as well as practical experience. Many students who choose the BTEC First Diploma successfully progress on to the BTEC National course or get a wide variety of jobs in animal care. The BHS and NVQ Horse Studies courses are both run in association with equestrian centres and are designed to provide students with a practical and theoretical understanding of horse management. Students are given guidance at interview about which route to take and both courses prepare students for employment in a wide range of jobs at different levels in horse management.
Every student is allocated a named tutor to give support throughout the programme of studies.
All students will be provided with an enrichment and key skills programme and have access to the wide range of College activities. Animal Care and Horse Studies courses are offered by the programme area of Science and Land Based Studies .
