thanks cosmolo - is NDTF the only course that looks at all theories?
The Delta course examines all the theories of training and covers behaviour as well. It is as broad, if not broader, than the NDTF one, in the theoretical content of these topics. Training ability is also taught and evaluated as is instructing ability. Animal (canine) behaviour can be studied at a tertiary level but doesn't necessarily have the practical elements that the NFDT and Delta courses have. Because the NDFT and Delta courses are framework (competency based) qualifications they have many units in common. Understanding how a national qualification is built within this system is worthwhile when choosing what to study and who to study with.
