After a morning of lectures and an afternoon of practical instruction using inflatable life sized models, all students achieved their British Divers Marine Life Rescue \u201cMarine Mammal Medic\u201d certificate.<\/p>\n<p>This well recognised award qualifies our students to help in day-to-day marine wildlife emergencies and will be a fantastic addition to their CVs.<\/p>\n<p>The training day was organised by HE Course Manager Kizzy Beaumont and was the third time we have offered this qualification to our students. It has proved so popular that Kizzy is now planning to run a follow up \u2018wet\u2019 course on the coast, when students will get hands-on with the rescue of a live marine mammal.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Bufton, a second year <a title=\"Foundation Degree Animal Management (Zoo Management)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/higher-education\/courses\/animal-management\/foundation-degree-animal-management-zoo-management\/\">Foundation Degree in Zoo Management<\/a> student, was spotted for his talent by the instructors, who suggested he should widen his knowledge by gaining his advanced qualification.<\/p>\n<p>Josh, who hopes to work with marine species in the future, said \u201cThis has been a great opportunity to gain a qualification which will help me to decide what sector I\u2019d like to work in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe course was extremely informative and the instructors were very professional. I would highly recommend the training to all students who enjoy learning about marine mammals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Co-incidentally one of the instructors, Jayne Dobner, was a Level 3 agriculture student with us in the 1980s and hasn\u2019t been on campus since.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cIt\u2019s great to be back. The campus looks a lot more modern than when I was here, but it still has the same friendly vibe!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Caption: HE animal management students enjoy their marine mammal training on the front lawn<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A beached pilot whale and several dolphins and seals were successfully rescued from the front lawn at Reaseheath College on Tuesday.
