If you want your days spent around animals, this bundle covers the work. Routine care, first aid, animal diseases, welfare and conservation, with Dr Kate Adams from Bondi Vet. Study online, at your own pace, and keep it for life.
Already working with animals, in a clinic, a shelter, a kennel or a zoo? Go deeper on diseases, first aid and welfare, and finish with 57 CPD points employers recognise. You study around your shifts, not instead of them.
There are no prerequisites, so this can be your first step. You learn routine health care, animal behaviour, safe handling and first aid: the things that fill a day in a clinic or shelter.
Your own pace, no deadlines, and lifetime access. Retake assessments as many times as you need, with marking back within one business day. Tutors are on email and phone on weekdays, and live chat runs 7 days a week.
These skills get used anywhere animals are cared for: vet clinics, shelters and rescues, kennels and catteries, pet shops, zoos and wildlife parks. The work is easy to picture: settling a nervous patient, checking on a recovery, keeping the records straight.
Helping with animal care, prepping for the vet, and running the front of a clinic. The health care and admin topics here are the daily work.
Feeding, monitoring, safe handling and spotting when something is off. Kennels, catteries and animal accommodation run on these skills.
Welfare requirements, animal behaviour and rescue sit in the course, and they come up every day in this work.
Caring for animals waiting on a home, including young animals and animals coming back from injury.
Assistant keeper work and wildlife parks, where the conservation and wild animal welfare topics are useful.
A small business you can run on these skills: first aid, behaviour, and owners who trust you with their pets.
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 on top of this course.
Four modules, from everyday animal health care through to wildlife conservation.
Here is what stands out in this bundle.
Animal Health Care, Animal Diseases, Animal Welfare, Animal Conservation and Essential Animal First Aid. One price covers the lot.
Dr Kate takes you through a day in the life of a vet, and what it takes to work closely with animals. Other sessions come from working industry experts and pet owners.
Basic first aid, rescue, infection control, sample collection and toxicology. You also cover the quiet daily work: monitoring health, nutrition, rehab and clinic admin.
Your access never runs out. Finish at your own pace, then come back to the first aid or disease material when you need it on the job.

Around 200 study hours, at your own pace. Access is lifetime, so there is no deadline. You can come back to the material after you finish.

It is CPD endorsed, which is accreditation for professional development: you finish with 57 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 add skills or start in animal care support work.
Yes. There is a 7-day cooling-off period. You can switch to another course or get your money back.
This course 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 email and phone on weekdays, and live chat seven days a week.
Picture the morning shift: the nervous dog settles for you, you know what the vet needs next, and the animals in that room are your job.
