Times shown are UK local time. Multi-day programmes require every listed date.
Complete Stage 1 before purchasing this tier, then complete the advanced online modules and pass the assessment before attending. Bring fictional exercise drafts only. All four agreed days are required. Live activities depend on suitable dogs, welfare approval and competent supervision; clinical tasks and emergencies use models and simulation.
Explore the included online courseAttend both agreed training days with a supervisor. Demonstrations, guided practice and repeated scenarios give you time to ask questions, receive feedback and improve.
Receive individual feedback and a development plan. A practical completion certificate becomes available after the instructor confirms attendance and completion of the full agreed programme. Online progress and knowledge results remain separate from practical feedback.
24 hours of supervised teaching across 4 full days, plus 4 hours of breaks. The typical day runs from 09:00 to 16:00, including two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch break. Final timings are confirmed with your session arrangements.
All 4 dates are agreed after payment and before attendance. They may be consecutive or held on separate agreed dates. The package price covers every training day.
Each learner receives supervised practice and feedback. Activities are adjusted to the learner and dog; models, video and fictional scenarios are used whenever live practice is unsuitable.

Review prerequisite completion, role limits and individual learning goals. Reconcile conflicting admission histories and a disease-specific titre certificate. Identify the health evidence and licence-holder decision required before acceptance.
Your practice and feedback: Produce a conditional admission decision with evidence gaps.

Your practice and feedback: Explain a defensible decision and a safe alternative.
Compare fictional multi-shift records with recordings or suitable supervised observation. Separate facts, missing data and interpretation; identify changes requiring professional input.
Your practice and feedback: Create a precise welfare timeline and appropriate escalation, with source documents and unknowns visible.
Design a protected-rest and monitoring plan, then revise it when the preferred space is unavailable. Use simulation to check competent cover, routes and accepted handover.
Your practice and feedback: Demonstrate a workable adjustment and review trigger.
Review the learner’s evidence, corrections and questions. Repeat a priority decision through safe simulation and identify the limits of what was observed. Agree preparation for the next session or a personal development plan.
Your practice and feedback: Record specific feedback, remaining supervision needs and an accepted next action.

Review Day 1 feedback and revise one weak assumption. Check individual readiness and the approved scope of any observation or practice.
Your practice and feedback: Present a corrected evidence-based care decision.
Use floor plans, recordings and suitable demonstrations to analyse bottlenecks, resource access and collection traffic. Rehearse secure routes and preventive changes without provoking dogs.
Your practice and feedback: Produce a group redesign with protected resources and stop conditions.
Build a multi-night plan for movement, rest, supplies and authorised care tasks. Simulate staff absence and loss of a preferred space; verify every essential dependency.
Your practice and feedback: Create a viable multi-shift care and cover plan.
Rehearse an early collection with an unresolved welfare concern. Give a factual update, reconcile supplies and obtain clear acceptance of the next action.
Your practice and feedback: Demonstrate an accurate handover within role and privacy limits.
Review the learner’s evidence, corrections and questions. Repeat a priority decision through safe simulation and identify the limits of what was observed. Agree preparation for the next session or a personal development plan.

Review fictional product labels and care records, confirming dog identity, current instructions and task authority. No live medication administration is included.
Your practice and feedback: Identify discrepancies before an affected task starts.
Use empty containers and mock records to rehearse uncertain administration, conflicting instructions and supply shortage. Practise the appropriate veterinary escalation without prescribing a response.
Your practice and feedback: Produce a transparent discrepancy record and accepted follow-up.
Audit fictional attendance, vaccination evidence and health records across shifts, then map a suspected-illness response. Plan complete care, cleaning controls and restrictions; preserve original entries and verify corrections.
Your practice and feedback: Demonstrate a realistic separation plan with verified cover.
Prepare a task standard, demonstrate a simulated handover and give specific feedback. Distinguish attendance, confidence and observed competence; record remaining supervision needs.
Your practice and feedback: Complete a fair task-specific observation and coaching record.

Live-dog observation or handling takes place only with suitable dogs, appropriate consent and direct supervision. A dog’s comfort takes priority; models, video or scenarios may replace an activity. Learners never take sole responsibility for dogs. No fear, aggression or distress is deliberately created for teaching.
These are independent training experiences, not accredited qualifications, veterinary training or professional certification. Attendance and feedback do not establish competence for unsupervised work. First aid never replaces veterinary care.
