Pet Sense College is dedicated to providing quality education to students who would like to work with animals in a professional capacity. Our courses range from certificate to degree equivalent, level 5, Advanced Diplomas. Pet Sense College aims to provide education which is competitive and prides itself in offering courses which are internationally recognised thanks to our partnership with Compass Education and Training UK.
People who love animals and want to work with them are often faced with the challenges of not being able to prove their skills or to build on those that they have. It is for these people, who want to work in shelters, grooming parlours or animal training, that Pet Sense College is introducing a series of diploma courses in canine and feline behaviour.
Our courses are recognised by the Animal Behaviour Consultants of South Africa who are the registering authority for animal behaviour consultants in Southern Africa.
Registration is open all year round. You decide when you are ready to register as all our courses are correspondence. There are no exams as you are marked on course work and module projects. You can work at your own pace, within reason. We believe there should be a limit, as the longer the gap between modules the more you need to reacquaint yourself with previous work.
Our payment options are flexible. You can either pay for the whole course or pay per module. For more terms and conditions, have a look at our FAQ page and refund policy.
