What our students have to say:
Tara Lanham - Canine Hydrotherapist: "I loved studying the Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy! From the very first enquiry through to the workshops, the communication and support from the team was outstanding particularly through the challenges of Covid. The course is easy to follow with a user friendly learning platform and well paced modules which meant that I was able to complete the course online whilst still working full time. Michelle is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate and presented the content in a way that made it accessible for someone like myself who had no prior experience in canine rehabilitation. I now have my dream job as a Canine Hydotherapist and love going to work every day!"
Shirlene Clark - Canine Agility Specialist and Remedial Massage Therapist: "Michelle Monk has an incredible knowledge base and makes learning engaging and fun.The course content was presented in such a manner that even a person with no health background (I have 26yrs in Nursing) would transition well from one learning module to the next". – Shirlene Clark Owner Pawstoconsider.com.au
