The Animal Care Assistant course from An Eacademy provides knowledge about animal behavior, animal healthcare, pharmacology, disease transmission, nutrition, and customer service. You will learn the basic anatomy of animals, routines in various examination rooms, how to understand and handle animals at the clinic, the equipment needed for various procedures, as well as procedures for blood sampling, X-rays, record-keeping, medication administration, vaccination, and more. You can choose to specialize in either horses or small animals.

Programme Structure
An eacademy has tailored the course so that you can easily work while studying. Therefore, meetings, webinars, and the online school are designed so that you can study on weekends/evenings. The study period can be extended at no additional cost. If you are unable to attend a session due to illness or other reasons, you won`t miss out- all of the meetings are recorded and made available for later viewing.
In addition, our lecturers organize interactive sessions where students can ask questions, join study groups, and engage in discussions with both instructors and fellow students. Lectures are held via Thinkific and typically take place over two days each month, included in the online curriculum.
