Assessments<\/strong>
Successful achievement is by a Learner presenting a portfolio of evidence that meets the assessment criteria.<\/p>\nAssessments require desk research from the study resources provided to assist the Learner in writing 200-500 word responses including diagrams, illustrations, tables and bullet points as necessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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
Some of the course assessments require the Learner to select the correct options from multiple possible answers including True or False statements.<\/p>\n
Self-Evaluation<\/strong>
At the end of the course, each learner is asked to complete a reflective self-evaluation of their learning experience and personal growth.<\/p>\nPass\/Refer<\/strong>
The course is taught against a prescriptive syllabus and the learner is required to evidence their understanding and application of the syllabus.<\/p>\nPassing the course<\/strong><\/p>\nTo achieve your qualification 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. If a Learner is unable to complete the course within the stipulated time frame, an extension may be granted but this will incur a re-registration fee.<\/p>\n
Certification<\/strong>
Once all of the course modules have been successfully completed, the Learner\u2019s assessment profiles are submitted for independent quality validation against the regulatory framework. And once validated, a certificate is issued to the learner.\u00a0To manage expectations, this can take approximately 10 weeks.<\/p>\nNon-accredited modules<\/strong><\/p>\nFor non-accredited modules, the Learner is required to achieve at least an 80% pass threshold. On achievement, an online certificate is made available for download.<\/p>\n

From two to 6 months.<\/p>\n
We recognise that some people are in full time employment with busy family lives and preparing for a new future.<\/p>\n
Others are very likely already dog professionals who have dog needs and customer demands to meet, before you wash off all the mud, do the household stuff, put their feet up and start thinking about studying. Covid permitting!<\/p>\n
We have to have a finite timeline, to keep everybody focused. But if you can complete and pass your course in 2 to 3 months, Brilliant!<\/p>\n
