TWO nationally accredited courses in animal care are being run and eligible students can study for free. Brighton’s Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary has teamed up with Link Education to run the courses.

Applications are now open for ACM20121 Certificate II in Animal Care and ACM30321 Certificate III in Wildlife and Exhibited Animal Care. There are a limited number of fully subsidised places from the JobTrainer Fund for these courses.

The JobTrainer Fund is a jointly funded initiative of the Australian and Tasmanian Government. Eligibility criteria for students applying for the JobTrainer places can be found at the Bonorong webpage. Applications close on Sunday, May 29.
