Animal Welfare (Level 4)
-
I am a big animal lover so when i left school, i enrolled on a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Care. Unfortunately, i was not sure of which route to take which resulted in me working many years in jobs for the sake of having a job - not something that i would love to do. I decided that i would like to work for myself and that\'s when i decided that in order to fulfill my dream of working with animals and owning my own business, i would enroll on this Dog Grooming Diploma. I have found this course to be very interesting and i have enjoyed working on it. It has definitely given me the confidence to gain the hands on experience i need in order to start up on my own
