i am managing to work around my timetable to fit it in and plus the first year their is only 12 prac days so that should be good.
i am so looking forward to it. i just wanted to see if anybody had done it or knows more details about assessments and stuff. |

Just a question - I noticed they asked what days are more suitable for the prac but couldn't see what days the theory classes are ... am I missing something?? [I was taking a sneaky look when I was meant to be working!]

I am currently doing cert 2. Its hard going when you have a job. Cert 2 is the easy one. Cert 3 means two years and a pract day every week at the Zoo. The pract days are part of the course so have to do them. Any questions fire away. Oh and mid year intake is full already.
Enroll for nxt year. But be quick Last edited by stretchedandy; 03-05-2008 at 06:36 PM. Reason: I cant spell =( |

hey stretchdandy,
its great to finally ask someone my questions. here it goes: how many people in your class/course? what do you have to do for assesments? what are pracs like? when i did work experience they were great and i got to do alot of stuff but one thing i did notice was apart from one keeper most of the others didn't really want to know me what deparments are you in for pracs? what does the course work entail? is it hard? um um ... i think thats all i will probably think of some more later panthera-leo |

Assessments have varied from in class stuff to take home assignments, A bit like school. You also have a skills book which you complete in class and on your pract days The prac days are spent being a Intern Zookeeper, this gives you the opportunity to experience being a zookeeper. The keepers im working with are great(OZ mammals) but like any work place you have your good areas and bad. So far ive heard nothing bad from my fellow class mates and the keepers let me fit right in. The departments you can wotk in are Carnivores,Primates,Unglates, Backyard to bush, Marine mammals, VQC, bird show, Birds, umm i think thats it. I will be moving to Marine mammals nxt month, 6 pract days in each section. Course work is broken into sections. 10 i think in all. Things like Safety and Communications to rescue and caring for young animals. Classes are great, well so far. Is the course hard. That all depends on the person i think. I dont think so. Cert 3 will be harder i think because of the commitment you have to make. Its hard working and doing the course but mostly everybody in class is working. If ya like add me as a friend or buddy. And keep in touch. Last edited by Sim; 10-06-2008 at 05:07 PM. Reason: Removed video by request |

Hey Panthera-leo.
Just thought I'd say helloe as I am also starting the Cert II at Taronga in July. I'm pretty excited... I'm looking forward to the practical aspect of the course. I was originally going to do Cert II through Tafe but I didn't make the enrolment date and then I found out about Taronga Zoo. Hope to hear from you soon |
