What you will learn
This course develops advanced competence in designing, constructing, documenting, and maintaining Euro vivariums and mature bioactive systems.
- Design species-led enclosures that map behaviour and natural history into structure
- Build Euro vivariums using safe materials, correct sealing, and structural load planning
- Engineer ventilation and airflow to prevent dead zones and support welfare
- Integrate drainage that is serviceable, inspectable, and resilient over time
- Design lighting systems using LEDs and/or T5s to create usable gradients
- Make evidence-based UVB decisions and document them professionally
- Control heat and humidity at scale using gradients, cycles, and observation
- Plan advanced planting for 12–24 months of growth and interaction
- Diagnose and recover microfauna balance and manage pests without resets
- Recognise true failure points and plan proportionate intervention or rebuilds
Who this course is for
Experienced keepers, professional animal care staff, breeders, and anyone building inspection-aware systems who needs welfare-led justification for design and husbandry decisions.
Learners are expected to complete the Course 2 Completion Checklist before progressing to Course 3.
