What our students say
I have enrolled in 2 courses with…
I have enrolled in 2 courses with Learning online Herpetology and Zoology. I have found the course notes to be of excellent quality giving more than adequate information to get you started on each module’s assessment. The Assessments were marked very quickly allowing me to move onto the next module very quickly. The advantage of Online studying for me being a busy person with 7 pythons and 2 jobs has meant I can study day or night and anywhere I happen to be with wifi. The tutors have been extremely helpful when I have rung with questions or concerns. I am now starting Zoology, The 2 courses will enhance my Business with my Pythons and enable me to work in a zoo or wildlife service which has been a life long dream. The courses are extremely affordable. I would recommend Learning Online to anybody wishing to enhance skills they have or change careers.

Certificate of Equine Care
I love the flexibility of the course and how well your enquires are answered and how quickly once you enquire about the course you hear back from the team. I work full time and often have to work on weekends so I love how no matter what someone’s always happy to help. Would recommend this service to anyone who doesn’t have a lot of spare time
