"Have been studying pet care for a few months now. Since the beginning, the entire process of learning has been easy and straightforward with help provided whenever I had any issues which I would then get help straight away. My mentor Olivia is so kind and went above and beyond when I asked her for help."

If you are starting out in a career in this rewarding industry, animal first aid is your essential starting point.  By learning important first aid skills and techniques you will be equipped to react calmly and confidently in an emergency situation.  A skill is valuable to both employers and pet owners alike.  In addition to learning essential first aid, you will be introduced to common health issues in domestic pets and learn how to monitor and respond to different animal behaviours. This is the perfect course choice for those embarking on a career working with animals with no prior experience.

More Content. More Skills. More Value.

The animal health industry is a rapidly growing profession.  According to the Government's JobOutlook website, there are likely to be around 12,000 job openings over the next 5 years (that's about 2,400 a year).  Unemployment in this sector is below average with around half of all workers in a part-time role. meaning a career lends itself well to those that need flexibility.

Working in animal health care is extremely practical and hands-on.  It's suited to people that are passionate about animals, who enjoy helping or providing a service, but who are also analytical and can search for facts and follow procedures.
