    I'd really like to do the Fetac Level 5, Animal Welfare course in St John's in September but cannot get any information from the college regarding how much experience/ qualifications you would REALLY need to get in because places are so limited. A few thread I have seen here sugges that the college is not too willing to speak to people on an individual basis so that dosn't help.I will be mature student, have worked in retail forever and am trying to get a volunteer placement with an animal organisation and maybe do a short animal biology course before then as I did not do a science subject in school but is this enough?? Has anyone done this course, been through the interview process?? Any help would be gratefully appreciated:D

    You don't specify if you want to do a full-time day course or a night course and they are entirely different.

    You can an Animal Welfare FETAC level 5 module (google it and you'll be able to download it) by night from September on. This is a component certificate. The FETAC course - like all FETAC courses by night at the college - runs for the full academic term for about 3 hours a night once a week. As it's popular, if you want to do it, you need to sign up in early September.

    Then there are the full-time day courses which have been changed for this year. You have to nominate whether you want to do Vet Nursing, Canine studies, and working with large animals (latter two are not the correct titles). These three courses are full-time 2 year courses with 10 modules. And as far as I know applications have closed off for this year as literally 100's apply.

    You should look at the St John's website for more info (www.stjohnscollege.ie). There is a nightcourse e-mail address if you have queries for the night courses - am not too sure about an e-mail address for the day courses.
