Title: Certificate in Feline Studies
Post by: fran on December 26, 2006, 23:25:48 PM

Hi everyone

I am thinking of doing a certificate in Feline Studies. I was wondering if anyone on here has done this and could you recommend a course to me? If so, could you please tell me what sort of topics you did and how they assessed you? Is there an exam?
It will be a distance learning course I will be doing.

Many thanks
Fran.

Hi Fran, I have never herd of a feline studies course before, what is it? Maybe you should see a careers officer?

There are a few places doing it by distance learning and some advertise in Your Cat magazine. I just wondered which one would be good to do. There are some on Feline Care and some on Feline Psychology.
I have just started a part-time cat sitting business and thought it would be useful for me.

Would be nice to be able to show certificates to the people you are looking after the cats for, it would give them piece of mind. :) good luck
