British College of Canine Studies:
British College of Canine Studies (BCCS) is a specialist canine home study college run by practicing canine professionals. We provide specialised online / distance education courses for anyone interested in pursuing a career working with dogs. Our courses are written and assessed by professionals currently working within the canine behaviour and training field. This assures our students that the course content is current and well informed, and will equip you with real world knowledge which you can put to use immediately upon completion.

About Us:

Photo of Online / Distance Learning Canine Studies CoursesThe British College of Canine Studies was established after our practicing behaviourists and trainers were horrified by the number of reports they received from clients regarding the ill informed and potentially dangerous advice being given by so-called 'qualified' practitioners. With the canine industry still very much unregulated, anyone wishing to call themselves a canine expert can do so.

It is worrying that some accredited international colleges offer dog behaviour courses which are being assessed and marked by tutors from completely unrelated fields. We made the decision to set up a college run by canine experts, offering safe, intelligent and practical advice to enable students to become well informed canine professionals and offer excellent levels of service to their prospective clients.

Our Aim:
At BCCS, our aim is to equip our students with all the information they will need to then go off and actually run a business in their chosen field. Many units come with an optional practical element which gives you a truly hands on experience.

Business Development Partner:

The British College of Canine Studies has received assistance from the Rural Knowledge and Enterprise Centre at Nottingham Trent University to develop a series of courses in canine behaviour. The role of Nottingham Trent University is not that of an accrediting body, but of a business development partner. This project is part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

The College has achieved an IIQ Licence, (Investors In Quality) and is currently in the process of converting their already accredited courses into credit bearing, nationally recognised NVQ qualifications.

Specialist Canine Home Study Courses:

Study your chosen subject in your own time, from the comfort of your own home, safe in the knowledge that the course you have enrolled upon is fully recognised, and taught by professionals currently working in your chosen field. All of our courses are online home study, with the option of trying out your newly acquired skills in the practical unit offered in many cases. There is a two year time limit on completing your studies.

Woodgrove Tutorials
Courses / Programs
Woodgrove Tutorials are an award winning college and a training provider of the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) courses through distance learning / home study.

ICB's primary objectives are to promote bookkeepers and enable them to gain recognition as an integral element of the financial system. The ICB controls this through qualifications and grades of membership which recognise the achievements of its members in academia, experience and individual competence.

There are many ICB courses which range from beginners through to expert levels. A trainee will normally start at the beginner's level and take incrementally more challenging tests throughout their career, although it is not uncommon for students to start at a more intermediate level if they already have relevant experience.

The ICB qualifications attained as a result are enormously beneficial in gaining employment as a bookkeeper. Although the ICB provide the examination body, they don’t teach the courses themselves. With Woodgrove Tutorials, students receive a ‘hard copy’ Course Modules on enrolment (by email and/or post by air mail) and then submit assignments online.
ICB Bookkeeping courses:

- ICB Level I Certificate in Basic Bookkeeping

- ICB Level II Certificate in Manual Bookkeeping

- ICB Level II Certificate in Computerised Bookkeeping

- ICB Level III Diploma in Manual Bookkeeping

Students receive a ‘hard copy’ of the Course Modules on enrolment (by email and/or post by air mail) and then submit assignments online. The end exam for the ICB Level 1 is taken online at your home. External exams for levels II & III can be taken in most countries around the world.
