Studying with The Animal Academy:
We pride ourselves on getting you job ready with learning activities conducted in small class sizes. We absolutely believe that quality is more important than quantity and therefore restrict our classes to boutique levels to facilitate this. We will place you in a veterinary practice or animal facility to assist your learning and you will be taught the latest skills and knowledge to start your amazing career in the animal industry.
The Animal Academy is owned, operated, and taught by Veterinary Nurses, backed by Veterinarians. By choosing to study with us we truly set you up to succeed in the Veterinary industry. We ethically offer 'quality' student focused learning to both local and international students and we are the only private RTO in Perth, to offer face-to-face international placements with smaller class numbers with the sole focus always being YOU, the student.
You will be studying under the guidance of Janet Murray, founder of The Animal Academy; recognised globally and recipient of the first 'Earl Rippie' international scholarship in recognition of Veterinary Nursing leadership.
As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and CRICOS Education Provider registered with Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA), we have an obligation to ensure the quality of the nationally recognised training and assessment we deliver. We must comply at all times with the Standards for RTOs 2015, which are part of the VET Quality Framework, as well as the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 and the National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2018 (National Code). To ensure compliance we have developed comprehensive internal policies, procedures and systems that guide our compliant operations and we must participate in audits with ASQA upon their request.
In addition, we must ensure that any third parties that we work with who have any involvement in your training and assessment comply as well. This includes our training partners, marketing brokers and salespeople where applicable. As the RTO we have the responsibility to issue your AQF certification documents in line with our issuance policy as outlined in our Student Handbook. If at any time you feel we have not met our obligations as an RTO, you have the right to make a complaint following our Complaints and Appeals Policy outlined further in the Student Handbook.
