Starter Courses in Animal Science and Welfare
These starter courses in animal science and welfare are aimed at filling a gap the study levels offered by Animal Biology and Care.
Starter course Animal Science and Welfare 1
Content
This course is an introduction to the study of non-human animals and their anatomy and physiology. The level of demand for achieving the course is equivalent to the first year of e.g. UK GCSE study. Yet some of the course does go beyond and gives challenges to the learner.
You will look into:
1. Animal cells and tissues
2. Transport systems
3. Skeletal systems
4. Digestive systems
5. Communication systems
6. Integumentary systems
The integumentary system is all about the skin, feathers, scales and any covering of the internal body.
Introductory 1 can take about 3 to 6 months to complete. Please see "How our courses work" for details about timescales to complete a course.
Course fee £125.00
Starter course Animal Science and Welfare 2
Content
This course demands more of the learner as comparisons are studied between different animal groups. These groups are the reptiles (Reptilia), mammals (Mammalia), fish (Bony and Cartilaginous), birds (Avia) and amphibians (Amphibia).
You will compare their:
1. Gaseous exchange systems
2. Transport systems
3. Skeletal systems
4. Digestive systems
5. Communication systems
6. Integumentary systems
Each body system is investigated to a greater depth than in the introductory 1 course. This course is equivalent to the final year of e.g. UK GCSE study.
Introductory 2 can take about 4 to 6 months to complete. Please see "How our courses work" for details about timescales to complete a course.
Course fee £175.00
