What is continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Most professionals in many sectors are expected to fulfil CPD.
For certain canine professionals CPD is required to track and formalise on-going study. For home boarders, doggy day-carers and kennel owners it is likely to be a requirement for obtaining or maintaining an Animal Activities license (AAL).
CPD is recognised by many employers and is a requirement for belonging to a number of pet professional bodies.
Structured CPD gives students and professionals a clear path to success within their current role and for progression to future ones.

Working with other organisations such as the NHS and Open University, they add credibility to your course of study and their unique logo is displayed on each accredited course certificate.

Canine First Aid Course
Topics were broken down so that even those with no education in this field can understand it. I feel more equipped to deal with any emergency that arises with my own dogs and I enjoyed the relaxed way I was able to complete this course without any pressure or deadlines. Thank you Caroline! -
Canine First Aid Course
I really enjoyed completing the first aid course for dogs. The information was interesting and informative, whilst being well structured and simple to comprehend. It was good to be able to come back to the course whenever I wanted to and take it at my own time and the videos and diagrams were helpful in backing up the information. Thank you Caroline.

Canine Health & Welfare Course
I found the course covers a nice range of topics, with lots of information without being too wordy so it doesn’t get dull. I liked that it was broken up by videos and plenty of self assessments. Useful links to other websites as well, I learnt some new things which would be beneficial for my own dog!
