Animal Behaviour Duration icon 100 hours Qualification icon Statement of Attainment Lessons icon 8 lessons

Understand animal behaviour - learn at home

This course is relevant to

    • pet owners,
    • veterinary assistants, or
    • people who work with animals (eg. in pet shops, animal shelters, farms, kennels and catteries, etc).

Animals have many specialised abilities that result from both innate programming and learned behaviours. It was once believed that logical thought was unique to man, but the more we study and observe animals, the more we realise that this is a fallacy. In understanding animal behaviour, we extend our basis for understanding human behaviour, and as such, the course may also be valuable for anyone studying general psychology.

This is a very popular course with a wide range of students worldwide.
