If you are thinking about studying a distance learning course, here is what you can expect:
Pre-course discussion
Before beginning on your course, you will attend a pre-course discussion with us, usually by telephone or Skype. This is to ensure that you meet the entry requirements and you have the necessary support in place. Please note that all our courses are delivered in English.
Attendance
All our online courses require you to be working or volunteering in a suitable workplace while you study. You will need to arrange this placement yourself before starting your course. This practical experience allows you to put what you learn online into practice and develop the skills needed to work in the animal or veterinary industry.
Tutor Support
As a distance learning student, you will have a dedicated tutor to provide guidance throughout your course. Your tutor can provide support by email and telephone when needed.
