I started and finished a second year at durham university they also do arachnology herpetology and cover a basic area within herpetology of biology.
there is a 3rd year but within the area of difficulty I was having in second year I really didnt bother with third as I basicly had just got through it.
the thing I began to struggle on was genetics although I have a basic understanding of how it works it is still difficult for me to grasp lol!

Durham university and as I understand it although unsure if it covers herpetology Nacro training center in Newcastly Walker, they do a course of some kind in animal care.

Wish you the best of luck though
oh sorry I undertook a college course in animal care at Gatesead not sure if its still going Il check and 3 years there got me OCRs of distinctions from there i went to further my study and found Durham Uni enrolled and got in!
