About the Canine Behaviour College and Our Courses

The Canine Behaviour College courses and other educational courses offered through the Animal Jobs Direct Education Centre are designed in accordance with the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) standards for vocational qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The courses meet the requirements ranging from Entry Level to Level 6 education. 

Our accreditations ensure students that each of our canine care courses meet high educational standards and are subjected to the strict quality assurance requirements of applicable accrediting organisations. Our courses are not the usual “read the book and answer a multiple choice test” style of course. All of our course material has been developed by our own carefully chosen team of experts in animal care, welfare and conservation and take a unique approach which emphasises animal welfare and the ethical treatment of animals. They are challenging, rewarding courses which will give you an in depth knowledge of the concepts covered. All modules of the courses are graded by our expert staff of tutors.

Each course presents students with clear criteria for achieving the goals envisioned in the course. You’ll be able to see all of these criteria in our course specifications, which will allow you to confidently present yourself to current or prospective employers as an animal care professional who has mastered the concepts and skills covered by the course.

We pride ourselves on being up to date with latest research and we only promote force free, relationship centred training.

Some of our courses meet National Occupational Standards for the animal care and welfare industry, including theoretical knowledge of animal care and, as is the case with some courses, practical animal care skills which you will learn during the course. All of our courses are created with the goal of not only educating our students about industry standards, but training the next generation of animal care and welfare professionals to exceed these standards.

No time limits apply and students may take anywhere from a week to over a month to complete each module.

Our courses do not include any traditional exams. Instead, assessment tasks are built into the coursework of each module which assess the student’s success at achieving the module’s desired outcomes.
