Get professionally trained - online from home

If you want to work as a animal care professional, then what better way to learn than from a professional themselves. From a tv star vet to a award winning dog groomer, our team of course writers and mentors have years of experience and knowledge to share with you.

It's vital that anyone selling their skills be professionally trained, but with the animal care jobs such as dog grooming being largely unregulated, many simply don't have a certificate that will 'qualify' you. That's where Pet Courses has you covered, teaching you first-hand skills from industry experts in an interactive and engaging learning environment.
