Everyone learns in different ways – methods that work for some, may not work for others. This is why making education as inclusive as possible is so important. The continuous development of apprenticeship programmes has provided students who struggle with the academic side of learning with a more practical alternative.

Affordable

Variety of pathways
As mentioned, the apprenticeship offers the choice of seven additional learning pathways to ensure your apprentice is learning skills relevant to their job role. The pathways they can choose from are:
- Animal Interaction and Handling
- Rehoming
- Movement and Transportation
- Breeding
- Working Dog Handler
- Operational/Reception Duties
- Wildlife Rehabilitation
No college attendance required
Although your apprentice will need to complete 20% off-the-job training, all learning materials are provided online, meaning they won’t need to attend college every week. As an employer this gives you more freedom to allocate off-the-job training tasks at times suitable to your business. For example, they could spend one out of five working days doing off-the-job training, or they could allocate one hour every working day to these tasks.
