Do you love animals? Working with animals can be one of the most rewarding and enjoyable careers you can undertake. Being a zoo keeper gives you intimate access to a range of unique animals from around the world. To work in zoos, you need to have a passion for the care of animals and confidence working with and sometimes handling them.
Some courses that might help you on your career path to working as a zoo keeper include:
Advanced Certificate in Zoo Keeping
Certificate in Zoo Keeping
Certificate in Wildlife Management
Zoo Keeping
Qualifications can help you on your path but they are not the be all end all to getting a job working as a zoo keeper. Experience is also essential. Volunteer your services at your local zoo or fauna sanctuaries. If this is not possible, volunteer with any organisation where you have direct access to animals, this might be an animal shelter. Volunteering not only gives you valuable experience but access to experts in the industry and a network of contacts for your future career!
