5th October 22

Animal Courses Direct – the largest provider of Ofqual-regulated animal courses in the UK – is giving hope to those looking to access gated animal careers through their online courses that are much more affordable than a university degree.

Anyone with a passion to start a professional career in the animal sector can now breathe a sigh of relief that they can achieve their career ambition, without breaking the bank.

With the cost of living crisis in full swing, an affordable education is more important now than ever, and fewer learners will be able to look to university as a route to getting qualified.

This is because energy prices and the cost of other essential goods are rising at an alarming rate, which is making tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses, plus the many other associated hidden costs of university much harder to stomach.

Thankfully, aspiring animal professionals can take advantage of a much more affordable way to unlock gated career opportunities. Animal Courses Direct – part of the learndirect group – have online courses on offer up to Level 6, the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree.

I spoke to Jordan about my access to higher education course and he was tremendously helpful. He explained everything very clearly and was incredibly friendly and helpful! I've started the course and all is going well so far. Hopefully a step in the right direction for me!

I had the most welcoming conversation with Zoe from learndirect Limited today. Prior to my application, I have been skeptical with online courses and the authenticity of its qualifications and provided certifications. But speaking with Zoe, I am completely confident that this is the right step. I look forward to having a good experience with learndirect. I can’t wait already. Kudos guys
