Level 1 AWARD Land Based Studies Animal Care)

Level 1 AWARD Land Based Studies (Animal Care)

The Level 1 Land-Based Studies Award (Animal Care Route) provides learners with a practical introduction to working with animals in a real farm environment. Learners take part in hands-on activities such as animal handling, feeding, cleaning, and basic husbandry tasks, alongside learning about animal welfare and safe working practices.

Alongside developing practical skills, learners build confidence, communication, teamwork, and independence, helping to establish a strong foundation for further study or employment within the animal care and wider land-based sector. This shorter programme focuses on key practical experiences and is ideal for learners who are new to animal care and want to gain a recognised qualification.
