What kind of education do you need to be a zoologist?
Generally most zoology positions will require a minimum of a bachelor degree. Many of our students are aiming at a bachelor of science degree, but want to do some study first, or we have student who already have degrees but need to gap fill.
How do I get a job as a Zoo Keeper?
Becoming a zoo keeper is fairly competitive and most employers are looking for people with experience, accordingly we strongly recommend that anyone who is dreaming of becoming a zookeeper does find regular volunteer work and/or work experience where possible. Our Zoo Keeper course is perfect for anyone volunteering or to use as a stepping stone to a Cert IV in Zoo Keeping which is the qualification you will ultimately need.
