Highly Recommend! Course is Superb! Easy to use and so informative! This is a fantastic course whether you're interested in working for a vet, a rescue, or just learning more about animal care and welfare! The staff are amazingly helpful and supportive, which is superb for an online course as I also like a personal touch there are actual people behind the app to help if needed, and they're great!
