Compass Education and Training courses are now available in South Africa! Pet Sense College, in partnership with Compass Education and Training, is now offering courses to South African students who wish to work with animals in a professional capacity.
Our seven canine and feline correspondence courses are exclusive ranging from level 3 diplomas to degree equivalent level 5 diplomas.



Feline Behaviour Courses

Feline Behaviour and Psychology– Diploma

As well as being an enjoyable course, this is designed to be a serious introduction to the fascinating subject of feline behaviour. Obviously the subject matter is huge and it would be impossible to cover it all in a course of this size, however more advanced courses are planned.

Advanced Diploma – Feline Behaviour Management

The aim of the course is to prepare participants academically to work in the role of feline behaviour advisor. It is designed to be the definitive course on feline behaviour management for those who cannot afford the time (or money) to go to university to study animal behaviour. This course is not open to all because of the technical nature of the material and potential students will have to demonstrate their ability to study at this level (Degree equivalent /Foundation degree) before being accepted. It should be noted that a long standing, 'hands on' knowledge of cats will not normally be accepted as adequate qualification to register on this programme without prior study although each case is judged on its own merits.
