wanting to get some qualifications to do with snakes or reptiles in general.
Anyone got any? or does anyone know of a course.

Really a college course or open uni would be good. I'm 21 and did college, but i only got one A level, and it was in drama lol!
So id probs have to re take and get biology etc if i were to go to a proper uni...

Would one day LOVE to work in a zoo or something similar looking after reptiles.

alot of the animal care courses do have an exotics module, not come across anything specificaly herp, but like has been mentioned alot of uni's do zoology. i have a national diploma and extended national dipolma in animal management with that course i studied exotics, animal collections(zoo animals) along with other modules such as antaomy and physiology and biology. the extended dip is the equivalant to 4 A levels or so i have been told.
