Gail Plumb - Warrington

Armed with this course I know I am doing right by my dogs

I stared this course due to all the hype about dog food and what is right and what is wrong, I personally feed my dogs on a raw diet, so I also wanted to make sure I was giving them the best and the right foods, I know raw is the best I also know raw is not for everyone, dog or cat, now armed with this course I know I am doing right by my dogs, and I can help inform others with what I have learned from this.

Joanne Chinn - Truro

Great value

Great value and quick response to purchase.

I have done other courses and they were very expensive. Very handy being able to use my phone to access. I can do work on course while on lunch breaks.

Looking forward to qualifying and being able to find a better paid job with it.

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.
