About our animal care, horticulture and floristry courses

Are you passionate about the natural environment? Do you love being outdoors and hate the idea of an office-based job? If your interests sit outside traditional academic subjects, then we have a range of courses to suit you.

Your passion for nature and the outdoors could take you to a new career in animal care, floristry or horticulture.

Animal Care courses

Lifelong animal lover? Our Animal Care courses can teach you about animal health, welfare and behaviour.

Your studies could take you out to work in pet shops, wildlife centres, animal shelters and local community projects to experience the handling and feeding of farm and exotic animals.
