After the great success in the last years, Elephant Business and Hagenbecks Tierpark have decided to offer once again a unique comprehensive course on elephant management. The curriculum will cover the majority aspects of elephant management and elephant care, from husbandry and health care, to transport, training, reproduction and conservation.

The First European Elephant Management School is the first one of its kind and the lectures are international experts in their fields.

The First European Elephant Management School is a practical orientated course on different elephant management tactics. Free contact as well as protected contact management techniques and procedures will be trained.

Hagenbecks Tierpark currently houses twelve Asian elephants of all age groups and with a high training standard. Important elephant management procedures will be taught on and with the animals (e.g. foot trimming, transportation). The School is held in a nine-day-session.

The course is meant for professional elephant keepers, elephant curators, zoo veterinarians and zoo directors only.
