Recommended Hours of Study

We recommended you spend approximately 110 hours of your time studying for the Canine Study Course. The pace of study is completely up to you. To give an example, if you dedicate 2 hours a week to the course it would take you a year to complete but  if you could spare 4 hours a week you could complete it in six months.

Assessment

There is no exam as such, although you will be required to complete a series of assessments. Assessment takes the form of question papers and directed report writing. The reports are designed to test the student's ability to understand the modules as a whole. The question papers are designed to test the students understanding of the individual concepts within the lessons. Reports (3 in total) represent 70% of the total mark; the questions papers (12 in total) represent the remaining 30%. There is no word count for these assignments although you do have to prove to your tutor that you have fully understood the questions asked.
