No case studies to write up. There are 4 sections to the course, birds, reptiles, small mammals and wildlife. Each. section is divideded into 4 units. Each unit gets a handout of notes and revison exercises. The revision exercises arent compulsory to complete but are useful. I can't remember the exact cod hours but it was lot, something like 15 hours per unit so something in the region of 240 hours for the whole course. I really enjoyed it when I did it about 10 years ago. I would throughly recommend it :)

Hi,

I am also very interested in this!

Do you have to get any cases in to write up about or have to have certain hands on experience during the course?

i did the course a few years ago. It's very detailed. They send you out notes every so often and there's questions to complete at the end of each unit. The exams are multiple choice and there is also a practical which is not like the nursing osces, it photos and pieces of equipment to answer questions about. I really enjoyed it especially as I worked in an exotic referral centre at the time
