Testimonials

“I found the reptile course amazing as the online formatting of the website itself was easy to access and navigate. The tutors were all very supportive and lovely and would send graded assignments in an orderly fashion and would leave good notes on assignments. An interesting fact about turtles is they don't have scales, they have skutes on their shells, as you can see on my pet turtle Micheal. Reptiles should only be handled by trained professionals as incorrect handling can cause severe injuries to said reptile.” - Frankie

“Such an amazing course I am studying (reptile zoology) with amazing information and so easy to understand and learn, love that I have found something I enjoy and can build on for the future. I especially love the people who are involved with this school, they are just so nice and always love to know how you are doing with your courses and provide help whenever you need it. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity and I can’t wait to see where my future will lead me with this.” - Tayla

“Ever since I was little I always knew I wanted to do something with animals, during year 12 I applied for an animal assistant course! They have been absolutely amazingly helpful! The course was incredible. If anyone wants anything to do with animals I’d highly recommend learning online.” - Lizzi G.
