About the Advanced Animal Psychology Certificate

Spread over seven informative e-learning modules, this course has been designed to build on the Animal Psychology qualification. Students will study units which cover topics from human to animal communication and animal linguistics, to predators and prey and defence mechanisms. Altogether, the work should take around 120 hours to complete.
