We have strived to produce an exceptional vocational course. Some theory lectures are to be viewed in preparation between modules. Notes are provided. Online access is available for students throughout the course. Our course structure and time table has been set out to make participation possible for busy, established practitioners, those on a career break and new graduates alike. We are a supportive and inclusive community for vets and chiropractors to learn the art, science and philosophy of chiropractic.
This course aims to be deliberately, incredibly hands-on. Practical lab sessions dominate the in-person weekends and class sizes are deliberately small. We are looking to produce the best animal chiropractors not the most.
If you completed an Essentials / Basic course with another provider but would like to top up your qualification, please get in touch and we will tell you how.
