Overview

Animal psychology and behaviour is a complex matter, just like the psychology of humans. Birds migrate, peacock’s show their plumage, and penguins give each other stones as “love tokens”, but why? Why does your dog bark at the hoover? Or whenever a plane flies overhead? This course will answer all the questions you have wondered about the seemingly untranslatable mind of an animal.

This course will help you to understand the events which shape the development of a wide range of animals, birds and insects which makes them unique, just like human beings. Veterinarians and animal trainers are examples of professions within animal psychology.

Leanne asked:

That didn’t really answer my question, who is the awarding body? Is the certificate recognised by companies? Or is it just a “pretend” certificate?

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
