How do I become a marine animal trainer?

Specific qualifications to become a Marine Mammal Trainer at Australia Seaworld?

  • I know it's a competitive field but I'm 20 and just realised that this job could be perfect for me. How long on average does it take to become a Marine Mammal Trainer and what course would be the best way to go about obtaining a job similar to the one above (in Australia)? A lot of sites mention that performance and public speaking is a must which is a breeze for me -- I am just really curious as to which course to enrol in that would be most beneficial. This obsession began after meeting a seal for the first time last week haha

  • Answer:

    Australian Seaworld is part of a consortium of theme parks. I've given you a link below to their employment website. When looking at training for any career, including marine mammal trainer: 1. Look at job postings and see what qualifications they are looking for. 2. Contact someone who has the type of job you want and ask for their advice/mentoring. Right now they have a job listing for experienced stockmen/horse riders.
