Laura "I would strongly encourage ANYONE who seriously wants to work with animals to take this course. The teaching staff; did a wonderful job demonstrating and reinforce what we are supposed to do and what not to do. The course stays very present with me, and I notice things while working at a zoo... Tomorrow, I leave again for Africa for the month! I just wanted to tell you that my animal adventures continue, and I learned so much from you."
