Why learning with ACS is more than just a Qualification
Some courses are simply about ticking the boxes on a checklist of what you are supposed to know. This Advanced Certificate is different.
- We are always focused on reinforcing learning.
- We teach in ways that have an impact on how you remember.
- We want you to succeed when you graduate.
What is an Industry Project ? Why Experience Matters
Any applied learning experience that allows a student to take what they have learned from their studies in order to reinforce understanding.
In the application of knowledge, learning is enhanced or embedded deeply through experiential learning.
In some situations, students also learn how to further adapt their learning as needed. Skilful!
Why Learn from Animal Experts
An entire team of experts stand behind our pet and animal courses - updating courses, supporting you as a student, writing text books and blogs, and developing new courses.
These are people who have studied animal and veterinary sciences at universities, kept and cared for their own pets, worked in pet or veterinary and animal industries.
Together they bring hundreds of years of practical experience to the services we offer our students.
