Not sure but I ran a quick search and found this

Quote:How do you get into it

Most people volunteer or train at a zoo or wildlife park before working as a keeper. You could get voluntary work at:

* a zoo or aquarium
* a safari park
* a veterinary surgery
* an animal welfare organisation

Qualifications and Training

Many zoos and wildlife parks prefer people with at least 3 GCSEs or Standard Grades (grades A-C or 1-3), usually including Maths, English and Science. It's also good to have an interest or qualification in biology and geography. Specific qualifications for a zoo keeper include:

* BTEC National Diploma in animal management and care (you can focus on zoo animals on some courses)
* NVQs at Levels 1, 2, and 3 in Animal Care
* Foundation Modern Apprenticeship

i found this at http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/wild/working/z...heet.shtml

Best way to find out how to work in a zoo, is to browse some of their websites and see what they ask for.

it is quite interesting, and has a good idea of what you need to look at. there are loads of different ways of working with animals though, so dont get disheartened if at first life looks daunting.
PM me if you need any help, im in a levels atm
