Level 2 Certificate of Achievement in Aquarium and Fishkeeping (QLS)

About the Level 2 Aquarium and Fishkeeping Certificate

If you don’t know your freshwater fish from your tropical ones, then maybe this Level 2 course in aquariums and fishkeeping is for you. Keeping fish can be a relaxing hobby and can have many other benefits. However, if you are interested in keeping or working with fish, then you will have to make sure you know all there is to know about caring for them.

This course is spread out over seven fascinating, fish-filled modules. These units cover everything from fish anatomy and successful breeding, to water temperature, biological filtration and the importance of ornamental materials. Altogether the course should take around 110 hours to complete, how at learndirect, we recommend you take all the time you need.

Who should study this course?

This course has been designed for individuals who want to work in, or keep their own aquarium. You may already own fish and want to broaden your knowledge or you may be planning to start an aquarium from scratch.

As with all of our home study courses here at learndirect, there are no prerequisites in place. This means you don’t need any prior experience before you enrol. All we ask is that you have an interest in aquariums and access to our online platform.

What happens after the course?

If you enjoyed studying this course, you may want to embark on another program. At learndirect we have a variety of different courses available. If you are interested in animal courses in particular, you will have plenty to choose from.

When you finish the course you will be able to start your own aquarium. You will be able to responsibly care for and nourish your fish. If you want to work with fish and aquariums, this qualification will look great on your CV. Related jobs include:

  • Fishkeeping
  • Fish farming
  • Marine biologist

The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 2 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed learndirect to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.

We are committed to helping employers, organisations and learners cultivate the relevant skills for learning, skills for employment, and skills for life.
