Testimonials

“I found the reptile course amazing as the online formatting of the website itself was easy to access and navigate. The tutors were all very supportive and lovely and would send graded assignments in an orderly fashion and would leave good notes on assignments. An interesting fact about turtles is they don't have scales, they have skutes on their shells, as you can see on my pet turtle Micheal. Reptiles should only be handled by trained professionals as incorrect handling can cause severe injuries to said reptile.” - Frankie

Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity and I cant wait to see where my future will lead me with this.” - Tayla
