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!

Highly recommend to anyone involved in learning more about animal welfare or interested in a career in this field! 5 stars all the way!” - Rhonda L.

“I have been wanting to enter the field of animal study, not sure on where to start or what to do. I enrolled in this course to do 7 certificates just to give me an inside on what life would be like if I were to work with animals. I absolutely love how easy it is to go through slides to find information as well as how great it is that you can redo tests as many times as needed. There is no pressure and I love being able to work on my own time.” - Ashlee W.

“Currently doing the veterinary assistant and animal welfare course and am loving it!! Am learning so much. Sometimes I think I am taking in more than I realise! That it's so flexible, and can just take my time with it so that the stuff really sinks in rather than having to rush through it is a huge benefit, as well with the tests that you have unlimited tries means you can do it again if you get one wrong.” - Matt T.
