Jersey Zoo will continue to run an educational programme, despite plans to sell its training centre, zoo bosses have assured residents.
Over the past 20 years more than 1,000 wildlife experts from around the world have trained at the Les Noyeurs centre.
It is being sold after a review by the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust of the way it is run.
The higher diploma course will continue based at the Princess Royal Pavilion in Jersey, rather than at the centre.
Other courses offered by the trust include the Diploma in Endangered Species Management which includes the management of captive breeding and caring for species in their native habitat.
Last month a baby Sumatran orang-utan became the ninth to be born in Jersey since the species came to the Trust in 1968.
The species is one of the most threatened of the six great apes and is classed as critically endangered.
