Written and tutored by Peter Neville. |
OCN Accreditation - Advanced Award 12 Credits. Click Here for details of accreditation. |
This constantly updated six unit course is wholly by correspondence and can be successfully completed by anyone who is genuinely interested in developing a close and satisfying relationship with their cats. It will also provide an excellent basis for further study, and successful students automatically fulfil the qualification requirements for the CDP COAPE Diploma Course. This course will enable you to understand the more subtle aspects of feline behaviour and the human-feline relationship, and enable you to look at what cats do in a different light. |

The knowledge gained can greatly enhance the pleasure that you can get from any feline/human relationship and help others to do the same, whatever your current involvement with cats. |
