  • Enhance customer care and satisfaction

  • Manage risk and comply with regulations.


Our business solutions can help you to achieve this.

National Occupational Standards

National Occupational Standards for animal care have been developed with industry employers and training providers. They can help you to:

  • Benchmark your staff’s performance

  • Prepare job advertisements and descriptions

  • Identify your employees’ training needs

  • Clarify what skills are expected of new employees

  • Take on new areas of activity (by acting as a checklist)

  • Develop your organisation and improve your current practice.


They are the basis for the National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs) and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) in Animal Care at Levels 1,2 and 3 and Animal Care and Management (NVQ only) at Level 4.

 (click here for more details on NVQs and SVQs).
