Caryl Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Thank you all. I am getting info back against the aforementioned Certificate in Companion Animal Services. Anyone done this course? What did you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Yay! Thanks Caryl Doing it now. I would think 99% of people on here would be able to pass it with flying colours- questions like 'how to catch a fish properly' and 'how to pack fish properly for long journies' etc, its designed more for people who are just getting into it i think but its still a good qualification to have. Cant wait to start the advanced one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 So is it being recognised as a true qualification by pet shops etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim r Posted August 5, 2007 Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi Sharn daft though it may seem a lot of people do not know how to catch (net) a fish or adequately pack one.( even experienced people some of which are on this site.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMAZONIAN Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Hi All Seems like I've done it all wrong for the last 48 years. Maybe I should have read the book and got the certificate. :lol: 48 years as a hobbyist and a "VERY SUCCESSFUL" BREEDER as well with a fount of knowledge about the hobby which I store in my "Tiny Brain" and try to recall from time to time so as I can pass it on to somebody else for their knowledge and enjoyment of the hobby, and now it's all in a book and you get a piece of paper if you tick the right box Good gosh; just how wrong have I been all my life. :oops: Next in the chain will be a "Diploma of Fish Feeding". Chapter one: Go to your LFS. Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Every time a coconut you can guarantee after I have finished printing, I pick up minor (well, hopefully they are always minor) errors in the damn thing! :evil: While zipping through it this morning looking for something in particular, I picked up 3 errors (one wasn't mine but I should have picked it up anyway). How come I didn't pick them up in the proof readings??? :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
