Why animal care?

It's a competitive sector precisely because people want to work in it, which makes an apprenticeship one of the most reliable ways in: you're gaining the experience employers ask for while you qualify.

Common questions

Do I need experience with animals?

Some employers like to see volunteering or work experience, which is often the difference in a competitive field — but the apprenticeship itself teaches you the job.

Can I become a veterinary nurse?

Yes. Veterinary nursing has a recognised apprenticeship route to registered status.
