About Canine First Aid Level 2 (VTQ)

This course is similar to our Pet First Aid course but for those who just want a course that only covers dogs.  

This course is aimed at anyone who requires a course in first aid for dogs. It is ideal for dog owners or dog professionals. Understanding basic first aid for your dog will give you the skills to assist them and prevent them from getting worse before your vet gives professional help. The certificate is valid for three years.

This qualification is also available with an Endorsed Certificate from TQUK, for an extra charge if required. 

With the online course, we add extra videos which you will be able to see for eight months to keep you up to date with your skills. With our online classroom courses, you will receive free weekly refresher video emails to keep your skills fresh and update you on the latest news. All students will receive a free login area to our website where you can download a free student manual and control other settings. Online students can print off their certificate online on completion, and classroom students will receive an official ProTrainings wall certificate and wallet card in the post after the course.

This qualification and most of the other ProTrainings qualifications are Endorsed by TQUK to show our commitment to extra levels of compliance and quality assurance.

Companies, organisations or agencies are encouraged to contact us for group discounts and information about onsite training and how our system can be used to track and monitor your staff training.

This course is available as a virtual remote class taught by a real instructor through our unique virtual training platform. Take your course from the comfort of your home or work and gain the same qualification as a traditional classroom course.

“I found the course very informative and the system was easy to use. Being able to refer back to course manuals after completing the course is also very helpful for future reference.
