I don't know of anything in the North East, sorry

Sparholt College in Hampshire does a course in 'The Management of Exotics' which covers reptiles. You might want to check that out:

Exotics Short Course

Also it might be worth asking the British Federation of Herpetologists to see if there are any courses that they know of or would recommend.

Some zoology degrees off a 'reptile' module in the third year if you are thinking of taking a degree. Its best to check the university prospectus' for that. (Newcastle University offers a zoology degree, but no reptile module that I can see).

sparsholts course only covers what you'll have covered in the ND.
I asked loads when i was there about them doing one but i guess it's not popular enough yet.
