What Students Say About It

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.
Lizzi G. · Legacy Testimonials S117
I found the reptile course amazing as the online formatting of the website itself was easy to access and navigate. The tutors were all very supportive and lovely and would send graded assignments in an orderly fashion and would leave good notes on assignments. An interesting fact about turtles is they don't have scales, they have skutes on their shells, as you can see on my pet turtle Micheal.

Such an amazing course I am studying (reptile zoology) with amazing information and so easy to understand and learn, love that I have found something I enjoy and can build on for the future.
