" Excellent course, very informative, outstanding delivery. I feel confident that I can apply first aid to my dogs if required, prior to veterinary treatment.
This has also lessened my anxiety with the what-ifs and variables with injuries that dogs may receive, as the course content was very comprehensive."

Dog First Aid is not nationally recognised training on the Australian Training Framework... Yet. This is a non-accredited course. There is currently NO accredited course in Australia under this framework for dog first aid. There is no such thing as a "certified" course within the Australian training Framework either.
We have filed an application with ASQA to have our course nationally accredited, which would make it the first and only one in Australia (Coming 2028).
