Student Success Stories

Primate Conservationist

“Animal Courses Direct gave me the information I required in a clear precise way, gave me the support I required and gave me the belief in myself to move forward with my new career. So many companies hide behind computers and documents which leaves you with more questions than answers”:Update: Craig has now found permanent employment and fulfilled his dream to work with Primates!

Veterinary Nursing Assistant

“I recently completed my Animal Nursing Assistant course via Animal Courses Direct and I can happily say it was fantastic!! This course has helped me so much whereby I now currently work at a Veterinary Practice as an Auxiliary Nurse and because I have completed the course and a position was available, they are forwarding me onto the Veterinary Nursing and starting college.”

Dog Behaviourist

“I adopted a rescue dog from Blue Cross and I spent much of my day training her. I decided to look for a dog behaviour course I could complete online that had an emphasis on dog welfare and taught force-free methods of training. This is how I found the courses at Animal Courses Direct. With the encouragement and feedback from my brilliant tutor, I completed the course with an excellent pass.”
