If you want your days spent around animals, this pack opens the whole field at once. You get every animal health course the college runs, from vet assisting and animal first aid to horse care, zoology and dog grooming.
No experience needed. You start with animal care, first aid and welfare, then keep going as far as you like. One enrolment, and a way into animal work without years in a classroom.
Already in a clinic, kennel or pet shop? Pick the courses that match your gaps: animal diseases, animal health care, first aid, grooming or equine work. Study at your own pace and take on more at work.
Twelve course bundles are included, so you can look at vet assisting, zoology, horse care and dog grooming. Try a few, see what fits you, and follow the one you love.
Skills like these get used anywhere animals are cared for: vet clinics and animal hospitals, shelters and rescues, kennels and catteries, pet shops, farms, zoos and wildlife parks. The work is easy to picture: settling a nervous dog, feeding and checking on animals, keeping records straight, and talking owners through the care plan.
Helping the vet team through the day and keeping the front desk running. Animal handling, health care and record keeping, used from open to close.
Feeding, cleaning, exercise and daily checks in kennels, catteries and animal accommodation. Safe handling and welfare knowledge matter every shift.
Welfare work with animals and their owners. The welfare and animal health topics here sit at the centre of it.
Caring for animals in refuges and welfare organisations, often the ones needing the most patience. First aid and health monitoring get used daily.
A small business you can start with these skills: reading animals well, handling them safely, and keeping their people confident in you.
Advising customers on care, and looking after the animals in store. Pet care and grooming knowledge both count here.
Assistant keeper and support work in zoos, wildlife reserves and parks, where conservation and animal science knowledge helps.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. Veterinary nursing needs accredited study, and animal breeding needs licensing.
Twelve course bundles, hundreds of topics, and 25+ micro-credentials to work through.
Here is what stands out in this pack.
Veterinary assisting, animal welfare, zoology and animal science, horse care and equine psychology, animal first aid, animal diseases, animal conservation, pet care and dog grooming. All of it, under one enrolment.
Every course you finish adds another credential, CPD points and a Credly digital badge you can share. Your list grows as you go.
The Explore Vet Nursing Career Sampler and the Veterinary Assistant Pathway Course are both in the pack. A cheap, quick way to find out if clinic work is for you.
You also get access to Careers by OCA, the college's Job Ready portal, plus one-on-one mentor support the whole way through.

A Course Completion Acknowledgement, a short-form credential, CPD points and a Credly digital badge. You can share the badge on LinkedIn.
Yes. That is the point of the pack. Twelve course bundles and 25+ micro-credentials are included, so you can try vet assisting, zoology, horse care and grooming.
It is a good way to find out if you want to be one. The pack includes the Explore Vet Nursing Career Sampler and the Veterinary Assistant Pathway Course, so you see the work up close for a small cost. Vet nursing itself needs accredited study, and the college runs a Pathway Program for that step. If clinic work grips you here, that is worth knowing early.
Short-answer and multiple-choice, built to help you understand rather than test you against the clock. Retake them as many times as you need, and marking comes back within one business day.
It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with CPD points employers recognise, plus a Credly digital badge. It is not a nationally recognised qualification. That is a different thing, and you do not need one to start in animal care work.
Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
This course pack is delivered by Online Courses Australia, an online training provider. Its courses are designed with institutions, employers and industry experts.
The college is CPD endorsed and issues Credly digital badges with its completion acknowledgements. Lessons run as step-by-step video modules, not dense textbooks. Support runs through one-on-one mentoring, tutor help by phone and email on weekdays, and live chat seven days a week.
Picture the clinic door, the animals waiting, and the day you clock on to work you would do for free. If you can see it, start the conversation.
