Further
Information on the Degree
How it works in brief:
In general, new students will have to complete
the foundation module 1101 Understanding
Canine Care and Behaviour. This teaches
a broad and exciting knowledge of the dog and
its relationship with society.
However, many patrol dog handlers can be validated
to the CIDBT's satisfaction and may begin the
courses immediately without completing the foundation
module.
You may click the PLANNER
to view the modules required for a Certificate,
Diploma or Degree that you wish to attain
Middlesex University Modules
Once you have completed approximately one third
of the CIDBT modules you can then arrange to discuss
with a Middlesex University link tutor - Work
Based Learning modules. They will explain how
that works, the registration and accreditation.
Once the mandatory CIDBT & Middlesex University
modules are complete you will be awarded your
qualification. Your prior knowledge is assessed
by the University and may be used as a part of
the WBS course modules. |
