Animals Training School Graduation
on Weekend in 2008

Securing a job working with exotic animals requires a certain minimum of hours of actual hands on experience, which we provide.

Towards the end of the course, you will pick an animal for your training project for graduation. You will prepare an oral presentation about 5-10 minutes about that species including the animal's taxonomy, social and breeding behavior.

The presentation is then followed by a practical demonstration of the skills and training techniques that you have learned in the class.

Students are also graded on a "Mock Film Day", where students work the animals on a film set and the trainers/instructors are the film crew. There will also be two other projects on animal facility design and enrichment.

Upon successful graduation students receive a certificate certifying their hours of hands on handling, training and caring for our exotic animals which includes lions tigers bears leopards monkeys and panthers.

Susan "I can't put into words how being able to go to this school has changed my life. The bond between the animals and people to me are amazing. This is one of the best things I have ever done for myself to grow as a person. Thank you for giving me an experience I will cherish for a lifetime."

Graduation certificate Students' grades are divided into five parts: |Top|

	Subject	Point Value
	Husbandry and Safety	20
	Animal Handling	20
	Assignments	20
	Graduation Project & Film Day	20
	Trainer Evaluation	20

Upon passing with a minimum of 75%, students can apply to Hollywood Animals Internship/Volunteer program which is only offered to our students. Acceptance is based upon their performance during the course. Students are also provided with contact information to other animal facilities to further their education and have access to our job board available online.

While we do not guarantee placement with these facilities, graduates of our school do receive a much greater consideration as most animal facilities are seeking people who have had hands on experience with animals.

It is not the intent of this school to make you a professional animal trainer or behaviorist in a few weeks but rather give you broad base foundation and the first step to continue in that direction. All of our trainers that currently work for Hollywood Animals have taken our courses and completed the internship, others have gone on to other facilities.

Next Course Starts March 2008 - Date to be determined soon!
