The College of Animal Welfare is delighted to now be offering apprenticeships in animal care, horse care and customer service to students in England free of charge until 31 July 2012!
Due to funding availability, any student over 16 years of age, who is employed in a relevant organisation (for example a boarding kennels, riding school or veterinary practice) for 30 hours per week or more may be eligible to take advantage of the offer.
Apprenticeship training is done on the job so there is no need for the student to attend college. Instead they will be allocated an assessor from The College of Animal Welfare who will visit them in their place of work on a regular basis, as well as providing support by email and telephone.
Apprenticeships are available at both levels 2 and 3 and can be started at any time.
Unfortunately, due to funding eligibility criteria, students who hold a previous Higher Education/Level 4 qualification will not qualify for free apprenticeship training.
