Courses for Further Learning
As many pet parent look to learn more and more, we are often asked about courses that can help increase knowledge. It is worth noting that some aspects of some courses that are available online may not be the most up to date, so we have listed the most accurately comprehensive courses below.
โ
In the UK, the role Canine Nutritionist is an unregulated role so there are no set requirements however at RFFDMSUK we believe in quality and high standards, so many of the team behind our Facebook group have completed a variety of the below courses. A paid nutritionist should always have business insurance and should not avoid discussing their courses or qualifications with you.
โโ
Please note:
It is not mandatory to complete any of these courses, however due to popularity we have included the courses to better help you to wade through the online offerings and find the most factually accurate information
RFFDMSUK do not own course materials at this time, this list is designed simply based on our own knowledge and experiences from completing a variety of courses ourselves, with Keisha currently working towards her Vet Nurse Assistant Qualification and Vic working towards her Canine Behaviour Partitioner Qualification, Aimee working through Rita Hogans teachings and Taome is currently working towards the IPET Canine Nutrition Qualificationโโ
