Team building with BITE Reviews

Fantastic course for anyone wanting to know more on zoo keeping and enrichment. Was a great week working with like minded people to help build new enrichment materials for rescued capuchin monkeys.

I loved this course, and in such a short time we were received a very rounded education on the enrichment of captive animals. This course would be invaluable to anyone already or wanting to work with captive animals, as we learnt all about enrichment theory, and were then able to put it into practice at the monkey sanctuary. Lakeview was an amazing place to go, as it is not open to the public, and we were able to build enrichment items for monkeys that had all had very rough lives. For example, my group built items for a group of long-tailed macaques that had been rescued from a lab - seeing the monkeys use something that had taken hours to make was incredibly satisfying.

The course was fantastic, I can't recommend it enough! Mark and Chris we great they work well together and were very engaging plus with there extensive knowledge in the zoological sector I knew the information and tips were trustworthy! The lectures and content was great, and really opened your eyes to the industry and realities of zoo life! The lakeview monkey sanctuary was gorgeous and inspiring! All the animals are well cared for and the work we do for them over the duration of course is incredible! Definitely made me want to join the zoological sector more than I already did!

Very enjoyable and informative course. Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary run by two of the most genuinely likeable and hard working people I have ever met. Would recommend the course to anyone wishing to improve the lives of captive animals; things to think about and basic techniques learned as well as ideas gleaned from fellow participants.

Excellent course amazing teachers would recommend Need colour handouts

So fun and interesting, really recommend for anyone with an interest in working with captive animals. Just a shame we didn't have more time to build more things!

Very Great course. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting to an animal profession and those who are already in it. Always room to learn, very informative. Didn't want it to end!

Excellent course and the trainers are very knowledgeable, experienced and generally nice people. Highly recommend it to everyone, even to those who are already in the zoo industry.

I really enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to pursue a career in animal care. As with everything there is always room for improvement but in the short time we had there was a lot learnt, I just didn't want the course to end I was enjoying it so much.

Chris and Mark are excellent teachers, very knowledgeable and a great pleasure to spend 4 days with. The facilities, location and the zoo staff we met were equally top notch. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot and would happily do it all again if there is ever a follow on course from the one I have just done.
