The College of Animal Welfare is delighted to announce the launch of its new City & Guilds Level 2 Diploma in Animal Care online learning course.
The availability of the level 2 diploma, accredited by City & Guilds, as an online distance learning course will now enable those looking to study animal care alongside any existing commitments the opportunity to do so.
All course materials are supplied via the College’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), meaning that learners can study from the comfort of their own home without needing to attend College. Consequently the course can be studied from anywhere in the UK and overseas; a development that the College believes will secure wider training opportunities for those with aspirations to work with animals.
Lisa Crowe, Head of Distance Learning at The College of Animal Welfare, said: “We recognise the crucial role that distance learning plays in helping those with busy home or work lives to pursue further training and expand their knowledge and skills” She continued: “We are therefore delighted to see the addition of this fully accredited course added to our portfolio of online learning qualifications”.
The one year programme consists of online tuition and practical work experience, covering the health, welfare and care of a variety of small animal species. Completion of the qualification should give learners the confidence to pursue a career in the animal care industry if they so wish.
For prospective learners looking for advice on help with course fees, the College runs a ‘Pay As You Learn’ scheme; allowing learners to pay monthly if needed.
What’s more, anyone enrolling before 1 September 2016 will be eligible for a £100 discount!
