The best decision I made
My name is Luke Nicholls. I completed my Certificate III in Automotive Vehicle Body and was working in this industry until one day I realised I would like to re-train and become a Captive Animals keeper. I am now working towards doing extra training with Global Wildlife to create a new career in the Captive Animals industry. This was the one best decision I have made in my career and I would like to thank Brad and his team in helping me on my career path.
