“I have animals, I am a dog training instructor. I am planning to commence a business providing in-home care to a variety of animals. So I wanted to upgrade my knowledge of animal health. I enjoyed the course and feel I have learned a lot.” - Beverley
"Snakes are the most misunderstood creatures on the planet. I’ve always had a fascination with them, but I didn’t know how best to care for one. I’m so glad your course didn’t omit these beautiful creatures and how to attend to any health issues they may have. I got my pet snake Hagrid two weeks ago. He is in good health and now I know how to keep it that way." - Melissa
“I have found the course to be a great deal of help with trying to get into the animal industry. I have also found my tutors comments of great help. Would highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to get into the animal industry.” - Dyane
