Overview
Applied Animal Science Online Course. 1200 Hours Higher Advanced Diploma Course. (Endorsed by TQUK - Training Qualifications UK).
Higher Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Science course online. Learn through home study/distance learning the basics of animal science. A specially designed certificate for people wishing to work or working in animal care, animal health care or environment wishing to deepen their knowledge in animal care, animal science and zoology. It is also very good foundation for those considering higher qualifications in animal studies, like Zoology, Mammalogy or Biology, as a shorter qualification before committing to longer studies.
The Academy for Distance Learning has a history of supporting wildlife projects. The world renowned Conservationist David Youldon, Chief Operating Officer of AFRICA NEEDS LIONS, completed our Advanced Certificate in Wildlife Management and with previous qualifications, went on to study a Masters in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health at Edinburgh University. He was also accepted for a short course in Data Analysis in Ecology at the University of Oxford.
Currently we have the Primate Naturalist: Karin Saks, studying our Primatology course. Karin has been fostering and rehabilitating orphan baboons, caring for injured monkeys returned to the wild, plus promoting a harmonious co-existence between primates and humans since 1997. She also founded The Darwin Primate Group as a non-profit organisation in 2008 and in 2014, moved to Kwazulu Natal to research the endangered samango monkey populations in the Midlands.
As you can see, our courses are highly respected by conservationists actually working in the field to help save the wildlife of our world, so you really can trust ADL to help you develop the knowledge and skills you need, to get involved in the environmental welfare of animals.

Questions and answers
Do I qualify for this course after I’ve completed my basic animal science course ?
Answer:Hi Josh Many thanks for your question. You do not need any prior qualifications to start this Diploma course, so you're able to start straight away. If you require any additional information please do hesitate to contact me. Kindest regards Amanda White General Manager
This was helpful.Could I apply to a top up BSC after this course?
Answer:Hi Mantoux Many thanks for your question. The word-count on this platform is extremely limited, so is it possible for you to contact ADL's main office to discuss this with one of our administration team and go through your options regarding a Bsc? I cannot place a URL address on REED, or a telephone number, so please kindly google: "ADL, Academy for Distance Learning" and we are the first search result. We look forward to hearing from you. Kindest regards Amanda White General Manager
This was helpful.What are the progression routes to University after getting this diploma? Is it equal to one or two years University studies?
Answer:Hi Peter Many thanks for your question. All ADL courses are endorsed by the Ofqual awarding body TQUK and have standing on University applications. A comparison in terms of "years studying at University" is not something I can offer I'm afraid. Our courses are used by Companies (including the NHS) Colleges and Universities all over the world as Professional Development. We have a "limited word count" on this platform, so please call our offices via our main website. Regards Amanda White
