National Diploma in Animal Management
"I came to Hadlow College because of my love of animals and to expand my knowledge of them. What an experience it has been! I was greeted by members of staff from the Animal
Unit and shown the wide variety of animals, that never stops growing.
I am thoroughly enjoying my time here at College and love working with all the animals and staff, as well as doing hands-on duties.
I hope to continue to improve my knowledge of animals and the many factors that contribute to their welfare. Hadlow College has given me a brilliant opportunity to do this and I know I made the right decision.”
