Course overview
Acquire the knowledge and skills needed to learn the theoretical and practical skills to administer hydrotherapy to canine and small animals.
The qualification allows learners to gain the required skills, knowledge and behaviours to work professionally in small animal hydrotherapy alongside formalising the capability of those already working in the field.
The qualification meets legislation requirements ensuring that practitioners meet industry standards and conduct hydrotherapy in line with regulatory guidelines. This is an Ofqual-regulated qualification.
Our ultramodern facilities have a 7x4 metre hydrotherapy pool and a state-of-the-art underwater treadmill to support our experienced team in delivering the course to the highest quality with an excellent opportunity to develop and progress as a small animal hydrotherapist.
Learners will benefit from extended hands-on practical time in our commercially operating hydrotherapy centre beyond the minimum required for certification. Learners will spend a minimum of 30 hours over the duration of the course with patients in pool and treadmill sessions.
