Questions and answers
What does the 'level 3' refer to - is that A level standard? Is the CPD the same CPD required for a veterinary nurse, for example? Thanks in advance.
Answer:Hello, Thanks for your question. Level 3 CPD is the level of the course, this will have GCSE level information. However, CPD is recognised as professional training, not a qualification- like a GCSE or an A level. Veterinary nursing would require a qualification. I hope this helps
This was helpful.i have previously sent a message about this course which has yet to be answered. the description mentions reflexology, is it about that or wildlife?
Answer:Yes everything will be related to animals, specifically wildlife animals. Thanks
This was helpful.Hi, is this a real qualification I can use to get a job/apprenticeship or Just to put on my cv, thanks
Answer:This course is CPD Accredited which is training related to professional development and is recognised by schools and employers across the UK. This is not equivalent to a formal qualification. Instead this course will introduce you into the field teaching practical skills that you could then use to support your CV and job applications.
