How can I get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate?

Question by christi b: How can I get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate?
Hi,
I was hoping somebody could give me information on how to get a wildlife rehabilitation certificate? I saw online I can take courses from the Animal Behavioral Institute, but how good is something like that? I can’t find reviews on the place so I’m not sure it’s such a great idea.
Thank you for your help!

I’d be leery of trying to achieve such an important goal via an online program. This is a very challenging, rewarding field, certainly worthy of determining if this is what you want to do from here on out. If it is, do it right. A few links I hope will help below.

There’s some variability from state to state, but by getting a degree or certification through a respected institution such as Tufts, you’ll have employment virtually guaranteed in any economic situation. I know several people that do this — and they are incredible individuals. It’s a very rewarding field. Keep up your search, you’ll find what works for you. Good luck.
