The final assessment is done today. theanimalcare.org is a useful site. Highly appreciating the exceptional content.

I found the courses very informative so far. A care is the first platform I am writing a review for. To the newbies- before taking an online course try to gather some info about the provider, a professional platform with top accreditation will be a good choice.

Simply amazing. Took few courses during my vacation and all were good. Online courses save time and money.
