16 online CPD short courses in Animal Care — every course is £250.
UKSM London's Animal Care CPD short courses help people who work with animals build practical, workplace-ready knowledge without committing to a full diploma or lengthy campus programme. Whether you support pets in a salon, assist in a kennel or stable environment, volunteer in welfare settings, or want a clearer foundation before specialist training, these programmes focus on everyday care, welfare awareness, handling confidence and professional conduct with clients and colleagues. Study fully online at your own pace with twelve months' access from enrolment, then complete a multiple-choice assessment and receive a CPD-accredited certificate typically within three working days. Fees are a flat £250 per course — no invented credit packages or fast-track diploma pricing. Syllabus outlines are available on request while full module pages are prepared for publication. These short CPD programmes suit appraisals, induction refreshers and personal development plans for animal-facing roles. They do not replace veterinary licences, regulated animal-care diplomas or degree routes. Browse the list below, filter by level pitch, and open a course page for skills, FAQs and enrolment. Regulated diplomas and degrees in related fields are listed separately on uksm.org.uk, so you can choose CPD when you need focused development and a prospectus pathway when you need a formal regulated award.
