Overview

The Animal Science Training Courses programme is designed for learners who want to work with animals across care, behaviour, nutrition, and welfare roles. This training includes six focused courses that build knowledge of how animals function, how to support their health, and how to manage their care in different settings. Whether someone wants to work in veterinary support, pet services, animal shelters, or wildlife centres, this course offers a full overview of key subjects. The training covers everything from basic science and anatomy to care techniques, feeding, behavioural patterns, and welfare standards. By completing all six courses, learners will gain the confidence to work with animals in home, clinical, or field-based roles.

The course includes topics like first aid for animals, nutrition and feeding needs, pet sitting routines, behavioural signs, and healthcare basics. It also looks at welfare regulations and standards used in the UK, helping learners stay aware of the expectations in public and private animal services. Since the need for skilled staff in pet care, shelters, and animal clinics is growing, this course can help job seekers improve their chances of finding work. The programme suits those starting their career or those already working with animals who want to improve their skills.

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.
