““I came to Capel to complete the Animal Care Diploma (Level 2) and enjoyed it so much I progressed onto the Level 3 course, which I will finish this summer.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Capel and have learned loads about animals and how to manage them. This course has taught me not only about animals but has shown me that I am able to achieve and do a lot better than I thought I would in education.

Capel has shown me that I am able to achieve and progress into higher education, my next step is university and I am hoping to eventually become a Veterinary Surgeon.

Jamaal is studying our Advanced Animal Management Diploma (Level 3)
