The Higher National Diploma in Animal Management is for those who want an advanced qualification in animal management, which will enable you to manage the care of animals rather than undertake that care yourself. The course aims to give you not just technical knowledge about the health, welfare and management of a range of animal species but also the confidence and transferable skills that will allow you to progress effectively into junior and middle management roles in the future. Work in the Animal Management sector is continually evolving with the need to work closely with other professionals in different services. Practitioners need to have a breadth and depth of knowledge and be equipped with transferable skills. The content of the course is designed for you to study and consider job roles and the work setting within a wider practical context. We hope you will enjoy exploring and debating these issues and feel better prepared to meet the challenges of changing policies and practice. This course combines lectures, group work, practical sessions and independent research. Throughout the course you will be applying your theoretical knowledge to practice both in group work and the work setting. You will be expected to undertake an industrial experience placement, one day per week as part of your studies. This will not only give you valuable experience, but can often lead directly to employment opportunities. The assessment for the course is through internally assessed theory work, presentations, creations of public information resources, written scientific reports and practical observations when managing the care of animals and supervising those carrying out various animal husbandry procedures. When undertaking practical assessments you are expected to perform to an industry expected standard and work independently. You will also be involved with the welfare of animals on the college animal care unit, to include those animals in our Blue Cross Rehoming Centre, Day Boarding Dog Kennels and livestock production area.

The HND is composed of a number of units, all of which you must successfully complete to gain the qualification. These units are chosen by the tutors to reflect the specialisms held with the College and will allow you to study across a broad range of Animal Management disciplines. The units you are likely to study (not exhaustive) include: animal health and welfare, business and the business environment, managing a successful project, animal anatomy and physiology, management of exotic animal species, biological principles, research project, evolution and adaptations, anthrozoology and wildlife conservation. Please note these units are provisional and subject to change

Each unit will be internally assessed by your tutors and then moderated. Assessment will take a variety of forms which will include theory work, presentations, written scientific reports, creation of public information resources and practical observations when managing the care of animals and supervising those carrying out various animal husbandry procedures . The assessment process will be fully explained during your induction and your tutors will work closely with your throughout the course to ensure that you understand all requirements of assessment.
