Animal Care and Welfare Manager (Level 3 Apprenticeship)

Please read and confirm the following:

There are no formal academic entry requirements. However, you will need to be living and working in England in a suitable animal care environment (e.g. a boarding kennels, cattery, animal charity, doggy day care facility), either in a supervisory role or working towards it, earning at least the National Minimum Wage for Apprentices. To complete this apprenticeship within 18-20 months you will need to be working for a minimum of 30 hours per week, if you are working less than 30 hours a week the length of your apprenticeship will be extended depending on your working hours.

If you have a level 3 (or above) qualification you may still be able to undertake this apprenticeship if your current qualification is in an unrelated subject. If your existing qualification is in a similar subject it may not be possible for you to undertake this apprenticeship.

International qualifications

Students with foreign qualifications are required to have their certificates translated using a UK ENIC Statement to confirm if they have previously achieved Level 2 English and Level 2 maths for their apprenticeship. If a student has not previously achieved this, they will need to complete Functional Skills English and/or maths as part of their apprenticeship. More information about how to apply, how it works and prices can be found on the UK ENIC’s website here.

I confirm that I meet these entry requirements   Back to the course
