Description

Cattery Business Certificate

While it is important for you to know a lot about feline health, grooming habits and behaviour, you also need to know how to run a small business. There are also specific requirements that your company must comply with, if you want to obtain and successfully renew your licence.

This course goes over everything you need to know about running a cattery.

We begin by talking about the most practical aspect of any start-up company: your financing.

Next, we review your licensing requirements and how you can apply.
It is also important to have some knowledge about hiring and training staff, even if you plan on keeping things small at first.

Finally, we go over the record-keeping requirements that you need to be familiar with.

You Will Learn:

The specific avenues you can take, to secure financing for your cattery
The steps involved in applying for your licence, including a discussion about fees
The reasons for hiring staff
The specific points you should make sure that you include in all training sessions
Ways in which you can comply with HMRC and your local authority, when it comes to creating and maintaining records

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.
