16 modules of online learning, via our Teachable platform and on-demand sessional webinars to explore the core topics and osteopathic considerations from the associated session. This offers students the opportunity to review the session’s work and to hear from experienced practitioners who works osteopathically with dogs every day. In addition, you will receive access to our private online community to communicate with your fellow students and live support for the duration of the programme. This price also includes 4 days consecutive practice, inc., the assessment day, and the teaching team is always at hand to help with any queries or questions you have.
PLEASE NOTE: When first you join us, we will ask you when and where you hope to take the practicum, so that we can assign you to a group. Once booked, you are asked to commit to that choice, unless extenuating circumstances arise. Students must also complete ALL elements of the online element before attending a practicum (without exception), so please sign up at least 6-8 months before the practicum date.

Flexible Payments & Additonal info.
Flexible payments are available for those who need them. This allows students to spread the cost of the course over 6 or 12 separate payments, but this process does accrue an additional 5% on all course fees. Only students who pay in full may have open access to the whole course. It is otherwise placed on timed 6-weekly release to ensure it stays in line with flexible payments. This process can be used to purchase the online component or the practicum, but all fees must be paid in full before the practicum is attended.
