Unfortunately, anyone can use this phrase. The only ones that meet animal welfare licensing standards are “Ofqual regulated” Level 2\/3\/4 courses for example. Check any course’s approval number on the Ofqual Register to verify it is fit for purpose. Google “Ofqual Register” and then input the qualification’s approval number to check it’s listed.<\/p>\n When you have completed Part 1 of the course and passed the assessments, you will receive an AIM Qualifications Level 3 Award in Canine Care, Behaviour and Welfare certificate from AIM Qualifications (An Ofqual national awarding organisation).<\/p>\n *As of 1st October 2018, the Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) requires those wishing to run a home boarding establishment that the licence holder or a designated manager and any staff employed to care for the animals must have competence to identify the normal behaviour of the species for which they are caring and to recognise signs of, and take appropriate measures to mitigate or prevent, pain, suffering, injury, disease or abnormal behaviour.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Guidance\u00a0includes s<\/em>uitable and sufficient training of people responsible for the care of the animals must be demonstrated to have been carried out in the following areas:<\/p>\n “Training must be a minimum of an OFQUAL regulated level 2 qualification in a relevant subject, or clear evidence of knowledge and experience”.<\/p>\n To meet the \u201cHigher Standard\u201d, one criteria is for the person responsible for the care of dogs to have “a relevant OFQUAL regulated Level 3 qualification”.<\/p>\n

2<\/span><\/p>\n The 2nd part of the course immerses the student in the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018 + Defra’s Home Boarding Guidance and includes a 1-2-1 Tutorial in which you can clarify any points arising or ask questions in preparation for your licensing application.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In this part of the course, we endeavour to shine a light on Defra’s 39 page A4 booklet on Licensing Guidance, to help ‘students’ assimilate the dry words and to provide mini knowledge tests to help you grasp this part of the regulatory landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n On successful completion of Part 2, the successful student will receive a Dog Business School certificate of achievement in the “Fundamentals of Home Boarding and Home Day Care for Dogs”.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text

It is not an exhaustive list and nor are we here to give you legal advice. You must not rely on it as constituting legal advice. For specific guidance on your particular dog law issues or business related law, please contact a regulated solicitor. Having said that, it\u2019s a good idea to have a good grasp of the fundamentals.<\/p>\n The course comes in 2 parts, Part 1 lists the broader legislation that applies to canines and their care. Part 2 looks at specific legislation relating to canine business such as home boarding, day care and breeding, plus laws that apply to business e.g. health and safety.<\/p>\n Typical legal questions you may encounter as a dog care pro<\/p>\n Here are some questions you may quickly encounter as an aspiring or actual dog care business owner. How many can you answer right now?<\/p>\n You can see how important it is to have a working knowledge of the legislation that applies to your business.

An assessment might typically ask the Learner to \u2018Explain\u2019 or \u2018Describe\u2019 a specific topic or situation, to avoid plagiarism and to provide citation references in order to support the Learner\u2019s response.<\/p>\n A few assessments require the Learner to select the correct options from multiple possible answers including True or False statements.<\/p>\n Self-Evaluation<\/strong> Pass\/Refer To achieve an AIM Qualifications Level 3 Award certificate, the Learner must successfully pass all of the course modules.<\/p>\n Every assignment submitted is assessed as either a Pass or Refer. A Learner is required to ultimately achieve a Pass for every assignment. Refers \u2013 or \u2018Passes in Waiting\u2019 as we like to call them, are hopefully few and far between. If an assignment receives a \u2018Refer\u2019, the learner has two complimentary \u2018resits\u2019 across the course. Additional \u2018resits\u2019 are charged at \u00a325 per resit to cover the additional admin costs.
