This Level 3 Award in Reptile Studies is an Ofqual regulated qualification that provides learners with knowledge of reptile care, welfare and behaviour. This 2 unit course also explores the vital conservation efforts aiming to protect reptiles.
This Reptile studies qualification contains the most up to date research into the keeping of reptiles. It is an excellent training course for animal charity staff, vet staff, animal welfare officers, pet shop workers and all those interested in the care and welfare of reptiles including reptile owners.
Crocodiles of the World Placement
Learners get to work for 3 days directly with the animal team, preparing food, feeding and cleaning/maintaining enclosures and enclosure areas. Whilst learners will not be working directly with any of the crocodilians, this is a great way to experience how a zoo operates, and the fundamentals of animal husbandry for exotic animals.
Please note that this placement is optional and not assessed.
Unit 1
Reptile Biology, Behaviour and Conservation
The first unit introduces learners to the biology of reptiles. The course content covers the principles of reptile behaviour and examines in-situ and ex-situ conservation efforts for reptile species.
Unit 2
Reptile Care and Welfare
During the second unit, learners will study the principles of reptile health and how to care for reptiles. The content also covers the signs of poor reptile welfare and explores how to improve captive reptile welfare.
