Sep-Oct Home Education Term

Welcome to the very first programme from The Jungle Ranger Academy – a brand-new educational pathway designed to inspire the next generation of reptile keepers, wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists.

​

Created by Jungle Lifeline CIC and developed by an approved CPD Provider, the Junior Herpetologist Programme (Level 1) combines structured learning with exciting hands-on experiences, giving children the opportunity to develop real knowledge, practical skills and confidence while working alongside a wide variety of incredible reptiles and amphibians.

​

Throughout this five-week programme, students will explore the fascinating world of herpetology through interactive lessons, guided discussions, practical activities and safe animal encounters. They'll discover how reptiles and amphibians have evolved, learn about responsible animal husbandry, understand the importance of conservation and develop the skills needed to care for these amazing animals with confidence and respect.

​

During this programme students will:​

•  Discover what herpetology is and why reptiles are so important.

•  Learn about snakes, lizards, tortoises, turtles, crocodilians and amphibians.

•  Understand reptile biology, behaviour and adaptations.

•  Explore habitats, ecosystems and conservation challenges.

•  Develop an understanding of responsible reptile husbandry and welfare.

•  Take part in supervised hands-on animal experiences throughout the course.

•  Complete activities that reinforce learning and build confidence.

•  Receive a Level 1 Certificate of Completion at the end of the programme.

​

A Journey of Progression

The Junior Herpetologist Programme is the first step in The Jungle Ranger Academy. As students develop their knowledge and skills, they'll have the opportunity to progress through future Academy levels before eventually working towards the ASDAN Animal Care – Short Course (available to eligible students aged 13+).

​

Who is it for?

This programme is available in two age groups:

• 6–10 years

• 11+ years

Sessions are carefully adapted to ensure each child will have the program that suites their age group and supported appropriately.
