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 applies. An advisor can point you at accredited animal courses.

Is it only pet birds?

No. The second module covers wild and flightless species.

Do I need to own a bird?

Not at all. The units work either way.

How long do I have?

Twelve months of access, with no deadlines.

What level is it?

Beginner level, though it goes deeper than most short reads.

How is it assessed?

Practical assessments as you go.

What do I need to start?

A computer and reliable internet.

Can I enrol if I am under eighteen?

Yes, once the provider speaks with your guardian.
