I thought Reptile Zone in Bristol offered some sort of educational course on hots, not sure if it includes any actual handling though - and I could be remembering wrong.

Anyone wanting to get involved in venomous needs to think about it, we do offer training, but, anyone wishing to do handling and not just the theory, will have to pass an exam, this is not to be difficult but to try and make sure people have a basic understanding first, also that they have thought about some of the implications, we have a book on keeping and maintaining venomous snakes which we use as a guide for the exam along with a document written about being a venomous handler. We are happy to help anyone interested. Just a short note most zoos now dont handle at all, due to the restrictions placed on them. If i can help further please pm me.
