Ever since I was little I always knew I wanted to do something with animals, during year 12 I applied for an animal assistant course! They have been absolutely amazingly helpful! The course was incredible. If anyone wanted anything to do with animals I'd highly recommend learning online.
My experience from this course was very interesting to know about different animals in the world. The help I got was great and was very helpful. Also, while doing the course, I learnt a lot of new things.
