Good to Know

Common Questions

Is this nationally recognised training?

You finish with provider certificates and a transcript. It is not nationally recognised, so no national code sits on it. Ask an advisor about accredited animal courses if you want one.

Which animals does it cover?

Dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, rabbits and small pets.

Do I need experience?

None. Module one starts at the fundamentals.

How long do I have?

Twelve months of access, with no set deadlines.

Can it lead to my own business?

Plenty of students aim that way. Pet day care and grooming both build on this.

How is it assessed?

Practical assessments as you work through the units.

What do I need to start?

A computer and steady internet. A device can be provided.

Can I enrol if I am under eighteen?

Yes, after the provider speaks with your guardian.
