Cert 4 through Hanrob

[Josie123]

Wondering if anyone has completed their Cert 4 in animal behaviour and training with Hanrob? I can't find any reviews. I am limited with other companies as I live regionally

I would suggest joining behavioural groups on facebook & asking ,most people frequenting here wouldnt be doing those courses but if its industry based for a career ask where it matters .

Is there anything available through TAFE? Private providers once had a reputation for being "tick and flick", take your money and give you a useless certificate, so be careful.

Maybe look at some trainer's websites, vet's puppy schools, see if they mention any qualifications.

Firstly, here is the outline of the course on training.gov.au... so it is a legitimate course.

And here is the list of registered RTO's that offer it nationwide...

Unfortunately, the only actual TAFE offering this particular course would be Bendigo TAFE - all the others are privately run RTO's.

 

Technically, an RTO that wants to keep it's registration will deliver the course as specified in training.gov, but how they achieve that can vary widely. My experience is that even different TAFEs have different methods of achieving the same qualification, and not all are actually "equal". This is due to the electives that each RTO/TAFE may choose as part of their delivery of the courses - not all electives are necessarily "equal" when combined to produce the total outcome for the qualification.

 

For example, when I did my Zookeeping course, Richmond TAFE had the best reputation for producing quality students who were more "job ready" upon completion than Bankstown or Ultimo TAFEs that were running the same course but with different electives.

 

I'd suggest you look at the various RTO's that are offering this course, and check which elective units they are offering with it, then work out whether those electives are the ones that will suit your desired goals. If Hanrob ticks the boxes for you, then go with them if that suits your situation. You will graduate with a valid qualification no matter which registered RTO you choose. Steer clear of any RTO that is NOT on the list above, OK?
