An excellent course with guidance within the course unit documents that helps you to properly reference the relevant source information. The background given into animal behavior and psychology is particularly useful. The tutor's responses to the submitted documents showed that they had been submitted to a stringent evaluation. I would recommend this course to all animal care professionals.

This is such a great course to help you understand the new regulations. It’s easy to follow and you’re provided with excellent support from your tutor. The books suggested are a must as they help you answer the questions in more depth. Overall 5* from me. Thank you IMDT.

Alanna

Excellent course, covered a lot of the legislation which is really good to ensure you get your head round it but also there were some really good practical questions in there that enable you to use this format again in real life, so was really useful. Some great books also suggested to read which are actually really interesting. Tutors were great, very responsive.

Vickie

Excellent and very relevant course with so much information on new regulations and covering welfare, behaviour and care of dogs. The course Is over a few weeks so is very manageable. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone wanting to complete Ofqual Regulated level 3 qualification. Excellent feedback. 5 star rating from me.

Jo

This course is brilliant! I currently work at a Doggy Day Care and I’ve learnt so much doing this course. It’s a must for anyone in this line of work. If you are unsure of anything the tutors are on hand to guide you, so whilst it’s a correspondence course you are not left on your own. This course has given me so much confidence and as I’m booked on more course I’m hoping that one day I will have my own Doggy Day Care with a 5 star rating!! 🤞🏻

Louise Clarke

Since starting my own business as a dog walker and home boarder I wanted to increase my knowledge base. I have completed a couple of courses with Imdt in the past few months and they have been worth every penny. I am so much more confident working with dogs and the diploma course ensures I can give customers the best possible care for their dogs. My bank manager will not be pleased to know I intend doing many more courses with Imdt in the future!

Andrew Powell

Really enjoyed this course! Interesting to gain more understanding of the Regulations and enjoyed learning more about welfare and care. Tutor was fantastic, with very helpful feedback. Thank you!

Having just completed and passed, yay, this course, I can highly recommend to anyone in business or working with dogs. Has given me a great insight into scenarios, regulations and all relevant aspects of working with dogs. Having not ever studied in this manner, I have to thank my tutor David for being so patient and given guidance. Study time, I would say took me slightly longer, more that I wanted to read and digest everything. A really good and detailed course. Would highly recommend.

Patricia

This course is very interesting! In my opinion it should be the 1st course to do when we want to start a business with dogs being a dog trainer or a dog walker. I have learned so much doing this course. My tutor was very supportive and efficient. This course helped me to clarify things I have seen during the other courses. It gave me a lot of confidence improving in my knowledge. Now I don’t want to stop and I am ready to start the 6 month course! Thank you for your tutoring and amazing course!

Izzy

I found this course to be very relevant for dog home boarding providers like me. I would recommend it to anyone looking to achieve an OFQUAL regulated level 3 qualification. The support provided by the tutor, Dave, was very good - I always received speedy responses to my various queries. Thank you IMDT

Sue

I found the course extremely beneficial and it will enable me to provide a higher level of care for dogs boarding with me. It is both relevant and practical covering the new regulations and behaviour / care. of dogs. There is a lot of material to cover in the course, but by spreading it out over the weeks it is more than manageable. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone providing home boarding / day care or dog owners wanting to know more.

Karon

Thank you again for a really insightful and comprehensive course. Studying with you has piqued my interest of working with and studying our canine friends even more.’

Have just finished and passed this course, thoroughly enjoyed this correspondence course with Dave, great step on learning ladder and so informative of the new legislation. Would thoroughly recommend, don’t let age be your excuse, in my early 60’s just wish I had started this journey a few years ago.

Tina Wilson

This is a great on line course, with very understanding tutors. I found this really beneficial in expanding my knowledge and understanding of dogs and the legal requirements for dog boarding. I would definitely recommend this for professionals as well as those of us who just want to be better at understanding our own dogs and becoming better dog parents!

Kat

This is great course to complete! It covers all the necessary areas for boarding and care of dogs, I feel much more informed and ready to put my new knowledge to practise! I can't wait for my certificate too

I very much enjoyed the learning and completing the course

Paula H

A really thorough and helpful course for anyone involved in dog boarding, daycare etc. The qualification went a large way in helping me gain 5 stars for my license!

Pat Walsh

I have just completed this course and can highly recommend it; perfect for a wide cross section of people - If you are new to Day Care/Boarding it gives you a great insight into the regulations and also on canine welfare that will be beneficial in operating. If you have Canine qualifications/accreditation's already it is a brilliant top up and refresher to keep on top of your CPD and because the IMDT are on top of the latest humane Care/Training methods it keeps you ahead of the field -- The time-frame is about spot on - I logged my hours and did around 70 the course is flexible (I did around 3 hrs a day for unit 1, broken down into 1.5 hours in the morning and night, and then had a week off while work was being done at my home for unit 2 ) -- Tutor support is always available . Another great course, Thank You and Well done !!

Jon Davison

I only signed up recently for the course and already find the course content extremely relevant to my job and the new regulations, plus the support from my Tutor is excellent. 10 out of 10!
