The National Pet College launches new website
|
The National Pet College (NPC), the training provider for pet professionals, has launched a new website along with a number of re-developed and new courses.
The website contains short, online training courses, based particularly around animal husbandry issues, which are aimed at busy pet professionals. Many of these have been re-developed for the site launch, such as the kennel and boarding course; canine first-aid, small mammals in a retail environment and parasites and your pet. Others are under-going redevelopment currently and will be added to the site over the course of the next few weeks. Many of the courses help businesses to meet the staff training requirements of the Licensing of Activities Involving Animals Regulations 2018.
One of the new courses which has been launched is the Professional Dog Walkers’ Certificate. Given the current absence of legislation in this area and the discussions around whether professional dog walking should be included in the forthcoming review of Animal Licensing Legislation, the course has been designed to cover a range of animal welfare, business related and legislation topics that will enhance what professional dog walkers already know and ensure they are running their businesses as efficiently as they can. The course includes areas such as transportation, health and safety, ethical considerations, dealing with different canine life stages and handling emergencies.
Pet Industry Federation members receive a discount on all NPC courses and the codes can be found in the members’ area of the PIF website.
