Welcome to COAPE

Why Study With COAPE?
Whether you are interested in learning more about your own pet's behaviour, or planning to pursue or develop a professional role working with animals, COAPE can offer you a fascinating, challenging appropriate study course, from Foundation Level to Diploma and beyond.

COAPE correspondence and residential courses in canine and feline behaviour present a fully co-ordinated career and study path to the way that companion animals behave and integrate with their human families. This encompasses a variety of up-to-the-minute approaches to treating behaviour problems including the acclaimed EMRA approach developed and pioneered by COAPE. While all of our courses require commitment on your part, they are as enjoyable as they are educational!

Course Accreditation
COAPE courses are written and tutored by nationally and internationally recognised authorities in the field, at both academic and practical levels, and most are independently accredited by the Open College Network, (YHR), which is part of the UK’s National Open College Network.
