Contents and Presentation

The manner in which it works is that it is broken down into 3 Modules which take you right from the A – Z of understanding and dealing with virtually all aspects of canine behaviour, including the modifications to resolve said behaviour - link to full Theoretical content./temp-pagecbfc-theory-full-content.html There is an Add-On Module 4 for those that would like to go further with their studies, which consists of Analyzing Client Questionnaire's, Preparing and Presenting Client Reports, Client Relations, Preparing and Presenting Master Behaviour Templets

You are sent one Module at a time which consists of approximately 12 Sections. At the end of each Section there are very simple and straightforward assignments for you to complete based on your notes, and after every 3rd Section there is a Quiz based on the last 3 Sections. These are to be sent in for marking and this can either be done per Section, or all at once. Only after these have been submitted and marked is the next Module sent to you. This is to ensure that you have a full understanding before going further.

In addition to the Video Clips showing the various exercises and modifications where applicable, we have a monthly conference classroom via Skype for approximately a two hour period. These are not compulsory. Various topics contained in the course are discussed and here students can all join in and ask their relevant questions – attendance is arranged beforehand with students and the dates, times and topics are sent out with your first Module. We are further available to you 24/7 during the week via email for any questions you may have.

As we do realize that the majority of people undertaking this course also work during the day, we allow 18 months to complete the course as opposed to the standard 12 months. If exceptional circumstances occur that prevent you from completing the course within the 18 month period, we are always open to discussing extending the course if necessary.

The full course fee is R4500 which is payable with a deposit of R500 on registration, followed by balance over 3, 6, 9 or 12 months, preferably by debit order - no interest is charged.

After completing the course (or during the course), should you decide you want to add on the Practical aspect of the course, this is easily arranged. This consists of 2 one-on-one sessions as well as attendance at our Practical Group Sessions for a two year period. The fee for same is R2500 which can be paid in installments.

Should you wish to undertake the Add-On Module 4 to become a behaviourist, this final section is R3500 and terms are available.
