Level 2 Extended Certificate Animal Care

City & Guilds Level 2 Extended Certificate Animal Care

The City & Guilds Level 2 Extended Certificate in Animal Care is a comprehensive programme designed for learners who are passionate about animals and wish to develop advanced practical skills and industry knowledge. Delivered within a real working farm environment, the course combines hands-on experience with theory-based learning, covering animal health and welfare, feeding and accommodation, animal behaviour, and practical animal handling. Learners develop the confidence, competence and employability skills needed for progression into further education, apprenticeships and careers within the animal care industry. The Extended Certificate provides a broader and more in-depth learning experience than the Level 2 Certificate, allowing learners to gain a wider range of skills and knowledge across the animal care sector.

This course is suitable for learners aged 12 years and above who have an interest in animals and would like to develop their knowledge and practical skills within a real working farm environment. Assessment is carried out through a combination of practical activities, written assignments, and portfolio work. Therefore, learners should have a reasonable standard of English and be able to complete written coursework with appropriate support where required.
