Zookeeper School Certification Tuition

ABC’s Zookeeper Assistant Program tuition starts at just $1,795.00.

This tuition cost covers your online zookeeper assistant course, which includes our program manager team to assist you with the curriculum.

How do you become a zookeeper? If you want to turn your passion for animals into a career, becoming a zookeeper might sound like the obvious choice. However, the time and expense of earning a bachelor’s degree in life sciences like biology or zoology put a zookeeper career out of reach for many people. Don’t give up on your dream of working with animals in a zoo, though. Zookeeper assistant tuition is affordable and you can complete your certification online in approximately 8 months.

I am going through my second program with ABC and couldn’t say enough good things about them. The enrollment process is so easy and fast. I love that some of the programs offer a hands-on opportunity for learning and tying everything you’ve learned together.
Kelly S.Graduate
I came across Animal Behavior College while reaching online Bachelor’s degrees for Zoology and specifically what caught my eye was ABC’s Zookeeper’s Assistant program. It was honestly been one of the best learning experiences so far in my 39 years. I learned things about zoos that I couldn’t really ever think about asking a zookeeper about. I won’t give anything away because I want those who are really interested in the program to take the shot and do it. If I could give more than five stars, I would give as many as I could!
