It gives you the basics about owning a pet and what you need to know for their welfare.
I don't see a need for certification for this course.
Recommended for general knowledge and resources

I learned so much about how to decrease stress for my pets and increase their happiness. I also learned how to better communicate with them. Thank you for helping improve my pets quality of life!

This is a very very elementary course pitched to people without even the most basic knowledge of animal welfare or dog and cat behaviour. I suppose that is a necessary niche to be filled as people should be better educated if they are thinking about getting a pet, but the course description should be more accurate about the very novice/introductory level of the material, questions, and discussions. Anyone wanting to think about behaviour on a more rigorous or complex level (or with animals coming from more difficult backgrounds) should go elsewhere. Even when presented with a question about what could be done with an adult dog's behavioural problems, the instructors chose to answer only with "this is why it's important to socialise your puppy, so remember how important socialisation is to a dog's life." Yes, lovely, that's all well and good, but it's a politician-style dodge of a question, not a serious engagement with it.

The more I get into this, it is nothing like I expected. Also very hard to understand (too quiet) especially the veterinarian. Also, what am I supposed to get out of this?

I suppose it is okey, but it is not what I was really looking for

I really did not enjoy this course and am so disappointed that I didn't. I wanted to learn something new about cats and dogs, but I feel like a lot of this was common knowledge. Maybe I am just more advance than I thought. I think this is a great course for a first time pet owner, but not someone who has had a pet for a few years. Also, I feel like the views shared here are sometimes extreme and I felt that having a brachycephalic dog, I was almost marked as a someone contributing to the problem of the breed.

Very introductory course, outdated since 2018.
Additionally the section to 'Ask the experts' is not in use so not questions/doubts can be asked .
