A career working with animals can be extremely rewarding and satisfying however, it can be hard to know where to begin to make your dream become reality when you have had little or no prior experience. Â You may be thinking about the possible career options open to you after finishing studying or you may already be working in a different industry and considering a career change. Â Whatever your current situation, learn more about choosing the right career path working with animals.
If you have chosen to start your career working with animals or you are already working in the animal care industry, a qualification in either Animal Care, Animal Studies, Animal Behaviour and Training or Veterinary Nursing is highly recommended. Being exposed to a blend of theory and workplace practical training, you will have exposure to a range of new experiences as well as gain new skills and techniques. As a graduate, this will also open the door to exciting new opportunities such as volunteering for projects in animal care facilities around the world and expanding your horizons in the job market. AVT qualifications are nationally recognised in Australia and offer students the latest information in animal care.
If you are a current high school student or graduate and are thinking about becoming a Veterinary Nurse, we recommend starting out with our entry level Certificate II course, ACM20121 Certificate II in Animal Care.
To learn more about the options we recommend visiting our High School Students and Graduates page.
