Testimonials

“Absolutely amazing way to kick off being enrolled into a new course in wildlife management and conservation with the greatest professional help from Benjamin on my learning couldn’t be happier how it went and super excited to get started in this new course thank you for your kindness and help.” - Jaylyne

“I have just completed my online Vet Assistance course. Can’t say enough positive things about it! The course was amazing, the tutors were amazing, the experience was amazing! I couldn’t have felt more supported or comfortable throughout this course. It was challenging but not impossible. It allowed me to put my mind to the test and got me excited to research. The information I’ve learnt was perfectly in-depth and more than I thought I’d get out of this course which is great. It will definitely help to guide me in my future job and for any future study I wish to pursue going up in the industry ladder. I can’t thank learning online enough for allowing me to do something like this in the comfort of my home while still working successfully towards my dream job. I’ll be forever grateful for giving me the perfect start to my future career.” - Ash W.

“I have just finished the first module of the Wildlife Veterinary Assistant Certificate: Animal Health Care. I have learnt a lot and pushed myself to submit excellent assignments. I really liked the tasks as it pushed me to do my own research and seek out the help of professionals, I therefore met a lot of people within the Animal Care industry. As a way to complete some tasks, I started volunteering at RSPCA and discovered myself a true passion for animals and their care. I took on this course for my personal knowledge, but I am now thinking of taking it further (probably going to uni to study environmental science in a few years) and maybe make a career out of it…” - Nolween L.B
