Overview
Advanced pet first aid level 3 (VTQ) covers much more details about the different injuries and illnesses that can affect dogs and cats. The course has been designed to give the pet owner or pet professional much more information in order to be able to detect early when something is wrong and give the appropriate care.
The course also covers the anatomy and physiology of animals and different first aid treatments that are available. Although the treatment is basically the same between dogs and cats, the advanced course has a dedicated section to cats.
This course is a ProTrainings Vocational Training Qualification (VTQ) and is ideal for pet professionals or individuals.
You will get automatic discounts off all our range of over 200 video online courses that you chose to take in future once you purchase and have access to this course. You will also receive a free training dashboard, downloads and access to the latest course material from ProTrainings.
The course can be taken 100% online, therefore, you do not need to complete a practical module but if you would also like a practical session to practice the skills, you can attend one of our national day courses with an approved and monitored advanced pet, first aid instructor, locally. For more information on this, contact us.
Why are ProTrainings online courses different?
Unlike other e-learning courses, ProTrainings use just videos training rather than reading PowerPoint text which makes our courses more engaging. You do not have to complete the course in one sitting, stop and return whenever you want. You have 8 months to complete the course and you can even view the course after you pass giving you access to new videos and downloads. Your certificate can be printed immediately on completion along with your certified CPD and Evidenced-based learning statement to evidence your qualification.
Virtual classes are also available with a real instructor with an internet video class and nationwide classes in your local area.
Under every video, we have added text to support the video and you also receive manuals and downloads free. To keep your skills fresh, you can opt for free weekly refresher videos. You are assessed during the course and at the end, there is a final multiple choice test. If you get a question wrong you will be given support to ensure you understand every part. You can re-take the test without charge. This may be an online course, but you can still contact us by phone, online chat or email.
If you require classroom training or practical evaluations these can be arranged nationally at your workplace.
ProTrainings are Endorsed by Skills for Care for both classroom and e-learning courses.
No more old-fashioned, cut-rate powerpoint training — your health and safety are too important to cut corners.
