Our students say

★★★★★ “I really enjoyed this course. It was easy to follow. The content was extremely interesting and it was well set out. I have recommended this course to other people. I would love to move on to do something more in dog psychology.” Donna Mackinnon

 

★★★★★ “The course was a breeze! Easy to understand and found it easy to put things in my own words, the course content was well written and provided great and good information. I also have a little 4 month old puppy and i was able to apply the knowledge i learnt from this course to improve his care. I can’t fault this course awesome!” Sharnique Adams

 

★★★★★ “I have long wished to study animal related courses but due to barriers am unable to attend campus courses. The Career Academy is the first and only institute I have come across that offers animal courses via distance. Thanks to the friendly, helpful staff and tutors I will be looking to study more through the career academy. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and though I only requested help once the person I spoke with was extremely helpful and friendly and made me feel more comfortable should I need to ask for help again. The feedback I got on each assessment was great and the tutors ensured I knew I was on the right track. I genuinely cant think of anything that could be improved with this course.” Lakeisha Bain
