WE're committed to Excellence
Our Code of Practice
Our commitment to the industry and the standard of education is reflected in our policies and practices. These standards are adopted to maintain the highest standards in management and delivery of our courses, as well as safeguarding the interests and welfare of students and dogs.
We do this by:
• delivering courses and education with integrity, accuracy, and professionalism consistent with educational, cultural, and regulatory systems.
• acting with integrity in dealing with students and members, both past and present.
We promote, encourage and teach the humane treatment of all animals in compliance with the laws of Australia. We adhere to the following Australian Codes of Practice and Acts:
