Maybe you already work around animals, or maybe you want to. Either way, knowing when an animal is sick is the skill that pays. You learn disease control, sample collection and animal health care, online at your own pace.
Infection control, health programs and spotting illness early. Every place that houses animals needs someone who can do this. It is the grounding animal hospital and boarding work runs on.
Sample collection, toxicology, and the inherited disorders of dogs, cats and horses. The course is built for animal health workers as much as owners.
Start anytime, study on demand, and keep lifetime access. Marking comes back within one business day, and a mentor is in your corner the whole way.
Anywhere animals are housed, health knowledge is the job. Clinics, boarding facilities, refuges and breeders all need it. The work is easy to picture. You spot the animal that is off colour, follow the hygiene routine, and get the right sample to the vet.
Supporting the clinical side, from sample collection to infection control on the floor.
Kennels, catteries and boarding, where disease control keeps every animal in the place safe.
Intake animals arrive sick and stressed. Knowing what you are looking at changes the outcome.
The inherited disorders of dogs, cats and horses get their own topic, which is breeding knowledge.
Selling to clinics and owners is easier when you know the health side behind the product.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Veterinary nursing and veterinary practice carry their own accredited qualifications.
Nine topics, from health care basics through to inherited disorders.
Here is what stands out in this course.
The course includes the Celebrity Mentor Series, a video masterclass hosted by Dr Kate Adams. She is head veterinarian and owner of Bondi Vet.
Diagnostic sample collection and infection control policies are on the syllabus. These are the tasks a clinic hands to someone it trusts.
Bacterial and fungal disease, toxicology, nutrition and inherited disorders. It applies to pets, horses and working animals alike.
