Hi guys sorry if this is in the wrong place, I'm pretty new on here.

I'm looking to find a distance learning course in something along the lines of zoo biology/zoology/biology/conservation (you get the idea lol)

Preferably degree level or something that will lead onto degree studies.

Would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers

Hi,
By 'distance learning' I mean a course you do on-line or via mail in your own time as I have to work fulltime. It is very hard to find these in animal studies as placements are a massive part of most qualifications. I need to find something more academic (maybe biology based) so I can get qualified without giving up work then gain experience by volunteering at various zoos etc.
Its gonna be tough which is why I wanted to pick peoples brains as lots of people on courses use the forum to research assignments.
Thanks for the suggestions so far...

can highly reccomend these guys and you can use government schemes such as ILA, and learn direct to get upto £200 a year towards courses.

they review their courses every year and add on so you can further in your chosen field. great courses at very reasonable prices. also, tortoise trust course is new, excellent and only £35!
