Courses and Certificates
I believe that it is important to keep my knowledge as up to date as possible so do try to do some CPD when I can.
Here are some of the certificates I have achieved, including my Ofqual Level 3 certificate in Daycare and Boarding required for the higher standards of the Animal Welfare Activities Licence for boarding dogs.
