iPET Network seeks training providers

Awarding organisation iPET Network, which provides tailored qualifications for the animal care and veterinary sector, is looking for training providers in the coming months to keep up with demand.

iPET Network qualifications are designed by people who work within the industries they serve and range from dog grooming, pet first aid, puppy socialisation, canine care, health and behaviour, responsible dog ownership, and canine nutrition.

The organisation is looking for people with specialisms in these areas in South Wales, Lancashire, Yorkshire, County Durham, Cumbria, Northumberland, Aberdeenshire, Lincolnshire, Cornwall, and Ireland to become training providers.

Sarah Mackay, who founded iPET Network with fellow animal-expert Fern Gresty, said: “The pandemic has really given people time to think about what they want to do with their lives, and we have seen a giant increase in interest for our qualifications.

“Such is the demand that we are actually looking to expand our list of training providers and we are calling on existing businesses and professionals to get in touch about offering these Ofqual regulated qualifications.”

Mackay added: “We hope that more training providers will come on board soon, so that we can expand our reach and contribute even more to excellence within the industries we love so much.”
