Companion  Animal  Behaviour  Institute  

Learn to be a Professional Pet Behaviourist  
















 

 

 

 


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 with 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 realistic case studies that are strategically placed within each unit.

 

 

Everything you will require to fully complete the course 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.

The Marking (Assessment) System.   

 

To successfully graduate and receive a Certificate, students must achieve an assessment of 70% or higher in every Unit of their course.

 

A course Unit that does not achieve 70% (or higher) will be returned to the student marked "Grade Pending". The assessor will provide information 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.

 

An assessment achieving 85% or higher will be awarded a 'Distinction', and an assessment achieving 95% or higher will be awarded a 'High Distinction'. Distinctions are only awarded on the first submission.

 

In addition to the Certificate, ALL graduates receive an official Statement of Academic Record and a display quality certification stating that you are a Certified Behaviourist with the Companion Animal Behaviour Institute. Click HERE to see the graduate pack you will receive.
