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

Can cats be trained?

Yes, and two units cover exactly that.

Do I need my own cat?

It helps for the training units, but it is not required.

How long do I have?

Twelve months of access, with no set deadlines.

Does it cover starting a business?

Yes. Operating a cat business is the last unit.

How is it assessed?

Practical assessments through the units.

What do I need to start?

A computer and reliable internet.

Can I enrol if I am under eighteen?

Yes, once the provider has spoken with your guardian.
