All students will receive regular tutorials and reviews with their course tutor. These will provide you with the opportunity to evaluate and review your progress on your course and talk through any difficulties or additional support you may need either inside or outside of college.
During your course you will have access to a tutor in person, by phone or via email. You can contact them for help, advice or guidance on any issues you may be experiencing.
On the VLE you will find various sources of support relevant to your course, such as course handbooks, revision help, study plan templates, help with referencing, basic skills, schemes of work and exam dates.
We are committed to providing our students with the best possible service. We aim to treat everyone fairly, courteously and efficiently. If you believe any aspect of our service is not what you expected, please tell us. We take all complaints seriously, investigate them thoroughly and do our best to put the matter right. We will promptly inform you of the action we have taken.

All such matters are between the employer and their employee.
Welcome to The College of Animal Welfare
The College of Animal Welfare was established in 1989 by one of the leading animal welfare charities, Wood Green Animal Shelters in Cambridgeshire. The vision was to use education to help tackle animal welfare issues and the problem of unwanted and abandoned animals.
In 1996, the College, known at the time as the Wood Green College of Animal Welfare, became an independently managed, not-for-profit, organisation in its own right and changed its name to The College of Animal Welfare.
