What are the Study Requirements?

There are no formal course entry requirements, however the courses are only available in English, so a fair grasp of the language is essential. 

All Institute courses are self-paced. This means that you, the student, determine when you want to submit your completed worksheet for assessment. You can study at the pace that best suits your lifestyle... full-time, part-time, casual, or intermittent. 

Because there are no deadlines set for the submission of your work, if personal circumstances require you to put your course aside until you have dealt with more pressing matters, you can do so without any academic penalty.

Our courses are vocationally focused. This means we have made an effort not to weigh the courses down in impractical theory. Our courses have been developed with a view to the practical application of the companion animal 'counselling' skills you will learn. So, all throughout your course you will have the opportunity to apply what you are learning to case studies that are strategically placed within each unit.

Everything you will require to fully complete the course you choose, is supplied online. You don't have to visit libraries, or search the Internet, or buy expensive textbooks. The Institute provides every student with easily downloadable study material and worksheets. 

All your completed worksheets are submitted for assessment via email. 

It couldn't be simpler!!

The Marking (Assessment) System.   

1) To successfully graduate and receive a Certificate, students must achieve an assessment of 'Competent' in every Unit of their course.

A course Unit that does not achieve a 'Competent' assessment will be returned to the student marked "Grade Pending". The assessor will provide information in the "Assessor's Comments" box at the end of the Unit Worksheet about the activity question or questions that need to be revised by the student before the unit can be re-submitted. Once the activities requiring revision have been completed, the Unit Worksheet is then re-submitted for re-assessment. There are no limits placed on the number of re-submissions.

As you can see, if you persevere with your studies you will pass the course. The only way to fail is to give up.

In addition to the Certificate, ALL graduates receive an official Statement of Academic Record and a display quality certification stating that you are Certified Behaviouralist with the Companion Animal Behaviour Institute.
