Common Questions

Is Australian law covered?

Yes, the standards and obligations for keeping them in captivity.

Do I need reptiles at home?

Not at all. The units work without them.

How long do I have?

Twelve months of access to finish.

How is it assessed?

Practical assessments through both modules.

What do I need to start?

A computer and steady internet. One can be provided.

Can I enrol if I am under eighteen?
