Testimonials

“I have animals, I am a dog training instructor. I am planning to commence a business providing in-home care to a variety of animals. So I wanted to upgrade my knowledge of animal health. I enjoyed the course and feel I have learned a lot.” - Beverley

"Snakes are the most misunderstood creatures on the planet. I’ve always had a fascination with them, but I didn’t know how best to care for one. I’m so glad your course didn’t omit these beautiful creatures and how to attend to any health issues they may have. I got my pet snake Hagrid two weeks ago. He is in good health and now I know how to keep it that way." - Melissa
