Accreditation, Recognition and Approvals of CoursesWe have worked extremely hard at establishing a quality service delivering quality courses in a way that satisfies the rigorous standards applied by a number of independent bodies. These independent bodies range from the professional to the academic and many are under the control of government departments and offices. We believe that the following list of organisations that approve or recognise these courses is unrivalled in the private provision of animal related courses. The International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC): As a result of the mutually compatible interests in promoting highly qualified, ethical animal behaviour advisors, our course provider and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants are pleased to announce the approval of continuing education units now being awarded for select courses and classes. The IAABC is a professional association for the field of animal behaviour consulting. The association represents the professional interests of behaviour consultants throughout the world. It is involved with the problems, needs and changing patterns of animal-owner relationships, and helps to ensure that trained practitioners meet the public's needs. The association's members meet standards for education and training and are held to the highest ethical standards of the profession. Certified members qualify in one or more species-specific divisions, working with dogs, cats, horses, and/or parrots. Associate members are consultants in practice, on the path to Certified membership.  EADL:

working in correspondence and distance education. With members from
over 20 European countries, the Association is a representative forum

developments in the expanding field of distance learning. Nearly all
member states of the European Community are represented in the EADL.

Jobs Direct is listed on the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP)

The Kennel Club Accreditation Scheme:
The Kennel Club’s Accreditation Scheme for Instructors in Dog Training
and Canine Behaviour is a membership scheme open to anyone working, or
wishing to work, in any area of dog training and canine behaviour. It
should be pointed out that the KC do not formally ‘recognise’ or
recommend any course providers, any provider claiming such recognition
is doing so without their permission. The KC does however accept that
certain courses do contribute towards and support the scheme and many
of our Course Provider's courses fall into that category.  The U.K. Registry of Canine Behaviourists Ltd (UKRCB): As a result of the mutually compatible interests in promoting highly qualified (practically and academically), professional and ethical canine behaviour advisors, our course provider is pleased to announce a formal association with the UKRCB. The UKRCB, founded in 1992 is a professional body of canine behaviour therapists with members practising throughout Great Britain and a selected number of international members. It comprises a nationwide network of canine behaviour advisors who offer a comprehensive referral service to veterinary surgeons and their clients for owners of dogs with behaviour problems.The UKRCB, recommended by the Dogs Trust (formerly the National Canine Defence League) has a real commitment to education and promoting responsible dog ownership. Membership is open to practising canine behaviour advisors who meet the criteria and high standards set by the UKRCB.  IACE: The Institute for Animal
Care Education:
exists to promote education within the animal care industry. It was
founded in 1996 and promotes a range of courses for the industry. The
Institute fulfils the requirement for a body within the animal care
sector which is focussed on the education and welfare needs of the
industry. The executive council also agrees the appointment of a panel
whose role is to agree codes of practice and standards within
organisations delivering courses as well as appointing external
verifiers to ensure that those animal welfare and educational standards
are maintained. All courses recognised by the Institute that are
outside the National Framework (privately provided) are certificated by
them.Back to Online Animal Care Courses Page
