This week we welcomed Meg from Colchester zoo as a guest speaker.
Meg came in to speak to our T-level year 1 and 2 learners about animal training, focusing on training mechanics.
The T-level learners gain hands on experience in our animal centre on how to train animals. These are vital industry skills.
