Why Compass

Force Free Training

Force Free Training

Compass support the use of force free principles in training and behaviour modification. With the correct knowledge there is no excuse for punishing our animals for not doing what is required of them particularly when rewarding required behaviour provides  more reliable results and promotes the human animal bond.

Accredited Courses

Accredited Courses

With so many course providers offering such a bewildering selection of seemingly similar courses it is important to ensure that an independent third party has accredited them. It is also important that the third party is a regulated awarding body. Many are not.

25 Years in Business

25 Years in Business

After 25 years Compass is the longest operating private course provider of behaviour courses in the animal care sector and still remains at the forefront of this provision.

A word from our Director

For anyone embarking on a course of study it can be a difficult time, deciding which course, whether or not you will enjoy it and wondering what you will get for your investment are just some of the things that you will be considering. I hope that by telling you something about myself, my passion for and life of involvement with animals you will understand a little of the enthusiasm that has gone into creating Compass Education and Training over the last 23 years.

Course feedback

"..I personally thank you and your staff, perhaps especially Martyn's tutor, all of whom have offered every help when we have needed it. We are so pleased with the courses, both in structure and content, that we have passed on your contact details to a few ex-pats out here and we will continue to do so if we come across any other likely candidates in need of animal education.." Jim
"..I spoke to a really nice lady this morning who explained the payment options to me. So thank you both for helping me, the first experience I have had from your customer service has been excellent, and it made very easy my decision of which college to go for.." Maria
"..a final thank you! I am so super impressed with your company and service! In about 3 -4 weeks I will be finishing my exams for summer so I will have about 2 months (perfect amount of time I guess) to study with you ! I shall talk this over with my parents but i think it is a very beneficial course and a useful way to spend my time! Thanks soooo much for all your help you have been so nice, understanding and have given some super advice!" Libby
