Ethology Academy CC is motivated by the conviction that knowledge has the power to change attitudes and improve the quality of life. Ethology Academy is also committed to provide students with efficient, professional and friendly service.

All the courses that Ethology Academy presents are essentially done by correspondence with Webinars in the evenings making the course accessible to students all over South Africa and the world. For some courses attendance of a compulsory seminar and/or workshop is needed. All seminars are hosted in Gauteng, with a repeat seminar in Cape Town for some of the courses.  

All the courses are one-year courses and on a tertiary level. Ethology Academy accepts applicants in possession of a Grade 12 certificate or who are older than 18 years.

The courses are designed to be done part-time thus making it possible for students involved in full time jobs to enrol.

Students who will benefit from the courses are those who love and keep companion animals as pets, breed or show with animals, work for animal welfare organisations, veterinarians, pet deli’s, grooming parlours, present puppy and dog socialisation classes, keep pet boarding kennels, are employed as dog handlers in the security industry or personnel of mounted units.
 
Successful students receive certificates issued by Ethology Academy.
 
The courses are recommended by both the South African Board for Companion Animal Professionals (SABCAP) and the Animal Behaviour Consultants of South Africa (ABC). Some of the courses are accredited with the South African Veterinary Council.
