Qualifications Awarded
T
he new year has got off to a flying start for iPET Network which has cause for celebration with some exciting training
news. The Awarding Organisation, which creates Ofqual regulated qualifications for the animal sector, has recently been approved to provide End Point Assessments for apprenticeships. iPET Network has already teamed up with Haddon Training and Keits Training Services to offer the assessments for apprentices in organisations such as Pets At Home, completing the apprentice standard in Animal Care and Welfare or Dog Grooming. And they hope that even more employers who offer apprenticeships will now choose iPET Network, as their End Point Assessment Organisation due to their profile in the grooming and animal sector.
