With the online vet tech courses it's best to go with a college that is accredited with the AVMA like Cedar Valley College, Blue Ridge Comm College, St. Petersburg College, Northern VA Comm College (provisional accreditation), or Purdue Univ (only has provisional accreditation). You have to work with a vet while taking the courses & the vet has to agree to teach you everything you need to know. You may have to go to a local college to take tests, to do labwork, etc.  I want to be a vet tech, but in the area that I live in the closest college that offers courses for is 5 1/2 hrs away. There's more info about it at\nwww.avma.org

Look around http://sealchallenge.navy.mil/ a bit.  Also look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_Seal , which has a list of requirements under the "Training" section.

There are a few job possibilities tat work with Dolphins.\n\nYou could focus in animal training and work at a marine park like SeaWorld. Most of the Dolphin and Marine Mammal peple have college degrees in animal behavior/animal training/marine biology or similar. They often do internships and volunteer for a few years before obtaining a job like this.  There is a lot fo work doing this, the training takes many hours and is very hard. You also have to do cleaning, food prepration, and maintenance work for these animals.\n\nYou could become a Veterinarian. Once a DVM you could specialize in zoo animal medicine and work with marine animals.\n\nWork as a zookeeper. Much like working at a SeaWorld, you would need lots of volunteer experience and a degree in biological science. Many large zoos or aquariums still have some dolphins.\n\nGet your PhD in marine biology or similar and  focus your work on something related to marine mammals. For example, you could study the mammalian diving reflex of marine mammals.\n\nThe US Navy does some work with Dolphins, so that is another option.\n\nIf you prefer wild dolphins, you could work for Fish and Wildlife or a state group like Floridia Fish and Game.\n\nIt is a competeive field. You will need good grades in school, and you will need lots of experience with animals. Be sure to volunteer at your local nature center, zoo, aquarium or animal rescue for this experience.\n\nGood luck.

If you are referring to Scuba diving agencies (ie. PADI, SSI, NAUI, etc), the major ones all meet a mimimum standard of skills required to be Open Water certified.  While there are some differences, the biggest factor in your traininig with these agencies will be the instructor.\n\nI would also recommend the course that has the most in water time.   It is tempting to go with the cheapest and fastest training, but the more time/practice you have, the better diver you will be.\n\nPlease see the included source for questions to ask an instructor and have a great time!\n\nBut since you ask about schools, if you are in the Los Angeles area, you are lucky.  The LA County program is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) programs in the US, the recognized as being the most thorough.  This program exceeds the standards of the other more popular agencies (PADI, SSI, NAUI, etc.)

It depends on your goals. \n\nFor example, UMass Amherst, through their Stockbridge School, offers several associates degrees related to farming. Santafee Community College in Florida offers an associates degree in a program that trains you to work in a zoo. \n\nHowever, if you want to be a vet, you'll need a four year degree in a biologicial science, then you'll need to go to veterinary school.

The requirements depend on the institution you obtain your degree at however it is essentially a biology degree that focuses on the animal kingdom.\n\nAs far as careers go there are many.\nAny zoo or animal sanctuary requires many people with such a degree for operation.  State and Federal agencies like the Fish and Game and Department of Natural Resources have positions available for them as well.\nOf course zoology is an excellent precursor to obtaining a Doctorate in Veterinarian studies too.\n\nBut to answer your sub question yes, you could work at a zoo planning diets and curing their ailments.

Your sister might have to take a few courses to refresh her classes, but once she does that, I know Zoos and animal shelters and animal hospitals accept people with Zoology degrees.  Tell your sister to talk to the place she wants to work or a company resembling where she would like to work and ask their requirements for someone who has been out of school for that length of time. \n\nI hope this helps your sister.

Well, the exact requirements vary from state to state and from whichever training center/ technical college you go to. More likely than not you will need to provide current CPR certification, vaccination record, possibly a verification of health insurance, and maybe your driver's license. \n\nFor a better idea of what to expect, check in with your local ambulance service, and also the nearest school that has an EMT program.

I have done it twice at Sea World Orlando. It is not just specifically swimming with dolphins though it was a trainer for a day and marine mammal keeper program. All of the Seaworlds have these programs and there is a SeaWorld Texas in San Antionio and SeaWorld California in San Deigo. California also has Marineland. The other one I know about is the Discovery Cove in Orlando Florida which is specifically designed for people who want to swim with dolphins.
