Britain is renowned as a nation of animal lovers, with a strong passion for everything from companion pets to larger animal collections. This enthusiasm has helped create a thriving, multi-million-pound industry, spanning pet food manufacturers, retail outlets, grooming services, kennels, catteries, and a wide range of specialist animal care businesses. 

If you have a genuine interest in animal health and welfare, our short and part-time courses provide an excellent opportunity to develop your knowledge and practical skills. Whether you’re looking to enhance your current experience, explore a new hobby, or take the first step towards a career change, we offer flexible learning options to suit adult learners. 

Our short courses include topics such as basic animal first aid and a variety of canine-focused training, giving you essential, practical knowledge that can be applied immediately. For those seeking a deeper understanding, our part-time animal care courses provide more comprehensive study, ideal for building confidence and progressing within the sector. 

We also work closely with employers, community groups, and organisations to deliver bespoke training packages tailored to specific needs. These can be delivered either on campus or at your workplace, ensuring convenient and relevant learning opportunities.
