What courses do you have to take to become an animal rehabiltator?

Hey all,
I was wondering, what courses are in need to work at a rehabiltation center, or actually START one myself, in the future... If someone would kindly guide me, I'd be thankful

Thank-you,
Steven

Hi Steven! The absolute best way to get started in rehab, is find someone else who is already doing it. Contact your local shelters, animal control, or do a websearch for your state and "wildlife rehabilition". With any luck, you will find someone who is willing to help mentor you (and get some extra help as an added bonus for them!) There are classes that are helpful offered by various agencies (not in every state), but nothing beats hands on experience to get you started on the right path. Good luck!
