Animal Behaviour

I want to...

	Courses, books, distance learning options
	Make your passion your career
	Help for your animal with a consultation at the NAC or with one of our registered animal behaviourists
	A holistic approach combining conventional medicine, complementarty therapies and animal behaviour therapy.

Would you like your very own Animal Behaviour Practice?

 we specialise in changing people's, dreams into their realities
... So, are you interested? ...
  we will make you successful because we provide complete skill sets …
  all the scientific knowledge
persuasion skills to ‘sell’ your solutions to clients
 life changing personal development
& the support you need to set up your own consulting business

 What's the secret, why we so are different? ... well it's simple ... we need you to help implement our mission statement:

 'positively influencing the wellbeing of animals worldwide'

  Your Career is OUR Concern

 Now you know what drives us, it will be no surprise that the sooner we get you out there consulting, the better our chance of achieving our mission statement.

We both share the identical goal & that’s why we’re so successful in shaping you as the perfect behaviourist.

Our personal experience says that to get you out there consulting, takes far more than just technical knowledge ...

Applied science & analytical techniques will allow you to define the problem & the solution easily !

  but, to make you superbly effective we need to share two more skills - persuasion, supported by passionate belief.

 When you get great at generating owner commmitment to your behaviour programmes, then you are truly on the irrevocable path to do good for animals

We will put you in that unique position where you have both the technical stuff & the persausive skills - animals don't benefit from great advice if the owner fails to implement it.  We believe it is our responsibility as behaviourists, to provide the right advice and gain owner compliance

we'll equip you with all the skills to do this.
 
(FAQ's include: How we compare with universities)

So are you Interested now? 

your only decision is how to do it ... 

	accelerated learning – concentrated courses to get you there really quickly
	modular learning – 9 modules, case studies & field studies (15 months for stage 1)
	distance learning – work at your own pace (less outlay but more self motivation!)

  Modular learning:
Our part time course is a great experience, but experience is showing that the Accelerated Programme is yielding even better results …

so see below for the Accelerated Programme      

... Accelerated Learning …    

Spring/Autumn Schools

 Accelerated learning courses cover the same content as our original part time courses, but allow you to get out & start practicing so much quicker.

Ten years of experience shows that the Accelerated route is even more effective, yields even better results & allows you to focus on the course without distractions

 If you are keen to get going or are coming from overseas, this is the one for you

Accommodation: we recommend our partner B&B - Forest Edge - as almost all our students stay with them (used to be called NAC 2).  Set in its own gorgeous valley, it offers single ensuite rooms with continental or cooked breakfast and a pub at the end of the road.  And the great thing is that the learning just keeps happening as you spend leisure time with your classmates.  Everyone we know thinks it's great!!

Contact them direct to book as there are a limited number rooms available

 So you're still not quite convinced?

Here's some more details ot ponder on ...

To create a successful business as a behaviourist you need to create a great track record

in fact it takes many and diverse skills …
behavioural scientist … to identify the cause and the solution
communicator … to explain the issues succinctly
counsellor … to set consensus based goals
persuader … to get owner compliance

if you lack in any single one of these skills, expect to be an average behaviourist
with average success in your practice

this is why the NAC is different … we do produce excellent Animal Behaviourists
we know … we consult ourselves

we want you to be consulting within your first 12 months
 so our courses do include:

science – focused, leading edge, applied, simple to comprehend animal behaviour (ethology), learning theory, welfare, physiology, parental investment, etc
self development – to create you as the person you want to be: self confident, great communicator, positively motivated, coping with diffilcult clients
counselling theory – so you can empower owners to help their animals
practical counselling skills - to achieve consensus driven goals in consultations
business setup – help to get you started, pre-prepared behaviour modification programmes, start up help
ongoing support – continuing professional development, supervision

we won’t leave you to flounder – our interest is in making you successful as we want to achieve our goal … positively influencing animals worldwide …

making you successful is our way to achieving our goals

 Would it feel good to be out there consulting & helping animals within 12 months of attending your 1^st module?
