Ash W. · Legacy Testimonials S117
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.
