| Description: | This is a program of studies for animal care givers who are interested in upgrading their work skills and for individuals interested in a career in Animal Welfare. The Animal Welfare Certificate Program has been jointly developed by Thompson Rivers University (TRU), and the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA). The program is based on bringing the learning package to your home or work environment, and it encourages you to use new educational technology. Building on the highly regarded Animal Health Technology Diploma program offered by TRU, and the Bachelor of Science Degree that has prepared graduates for successful entry into Veterinary School, this new Certificate program has the quality and reputation of both TRU and the BC SPCA behind it.
The program is divided into two levels (AWCP 170 & AWCP 171). Each level is comprised of a series of modules. Depending on your level of experience you can complete both levels in sequence, or start immediately on the second level. It may also be possible for you to complete only selected modules from one level, depending on your individual requirements. |
