    Only similarish ones I've heard of are ITEC courses - but if you're going into behaviour I'd say decide on your views and do a little research first as there's loads of theories out there with different takes on 'punishment and reward'

    I'm currently studying an animal welfare course with ELISTA http://www.elistaeducation.com/ It's once a month in Gurteen, Co. Tipperary. I find it very interesing. There's a FETAC qualification at the end if you wish to receive a qualification. I would love to study full time but things being what they are at the moment I'm working full time.

    Kilester college also have an animal care course http://www.killestercollege.ie/index.asp?locID=33&docID=-1

    Hope you find what you're looking for :)

    I'm not aware of any college offering online courses that lead to a FETAC Level 5/6 qualification in animal care (sometimes also referred to as veterinary assistant courses). This is due to the practical requirement to include animal handling classes in the course in order to gain a meaningful qualification.

    As a previous poster indicated, you will find behaviour and welfare courses online but animal care courses in general don't really lend themselves to 100% online delivery.
