This was my first course with the Career Academy and I really loved it. I conversed with the tutors via email and they were excellent about getting back to me quickly and providing good feedback. This was a great course overall.

When I was doing my research this course seemed to have everything I was looking for in terms of what it covers etc. It has been a pleasure doing my course through you, my tutor was lovely and so helpful!
Callum Grady –
This is the best formal education course I’ve taken. I am loving the course – it’s easy to manage and the tutors are super helpful. They always get back to me in 1-2 days with any questions I have. What I like about the course is that the information is succinct – it’s not just a bunch of useless information being thrown at you, it sticks to the important things that you really need to know.
Donnamaree Edwards –
Loving the course so far! It’s taking me a long time to get through due to a busy schedule, but the course is easy and I’m really enjoying it. I’m generally working through it on my own but I’ve gotten a bit of help from the tutor as well.
Leah Wilson –
Nothing could be improved. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I am interested in dogs behaviour and psychology. In the future I would love to change my career to working with dogs and open a doggy day care. I chose this course to get me started.

Just started my course with the career academy and absolutely love it. I like the flexibility the online course gives me as I can study in my own time. The material is very easy to access and easy to read and learn. Like the assignments too (never thought I would say that). Can’t wait for the next module.
