ANIMAL MANAGEMENT LEVEL 2

This qualification has been developed in consultation with employers in the animal care sector to ensure it enables learners to develop the skills and behaviours that will give them the best opportunity to be successful when applying for work.

All the content of the qualification is mandatory and relates directly to the skills, knowledge and behaviours expected by employers in the animal care sector. The areas learners will cover include:
• practical animal health
• animal biology and health
• animal care work placement
• animal welfare
• animal behaviour assessment and safe handling
• feeding, accommodation and moving animals.

Learners will also enhance their broader skills in literacy and numeracy, which will be invaluable in supporting progression in other areas. In addition, they will develop transferable technical and practical skills in communication (working with colleagues, customers and clients), and research and project work (providing you with an opportunity to demonstrate your reflective practice by suggesting alternative approaches to a problem).
