KCAI scheme.

So basically I got this email a few months back. After searching online and speaking to a friend martcin, he's my landlords handyman and also a dog trainer (believes in domminance (I don't) ) so I asked him where should I start? He told me

Contact the kennel club, join a kennel club. So I contacted a Mexican dog trainer in Edinburgh (who is a wanker by the way) I asked him if I could shadow him and would even volenteer to help him with the dogs, he texts back yeah sure okay.

I then call him and he laughed saying no way, I won't help you, why would I? 

Being a real arsehole, so I got angry after the call and was determand to make this work, I felt heartbroken... But I didn't wan to give this up

I contacted the British kennel club, explained the mexifag wanted twenty thousand pounds from me (yeah right LOL) they laughed and explained about the kcai course my heart shot up, flew and eyes widened. So they sent me an email and the email said ....

Dear Steven

My name is Clare H******* and I am the first port of call for the Kennel Club Accreditation Scheme for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour. (KCAI). 

The KCAI Scheme is looking to raise national standards of dog training and canine behaviour in the UK.  It is mainly self-study although all members are looked after by a Regional Mentor and we also offer educational opportunities.  All of your knowledge and experience, whether it be hands on training experience, academic knowledge, ‘real-life’ experience with your own dogs and anything gained from simply having an interest, counts towards your final accreditation.

The scheme is modular and covers 3 different key areas: ‘What you Know, What you Do and How you Teach.   Once you have worked your way through the modules and can evidence the required level of knowledge and experience (all quantified through a points system), you would be eligible for a practical and oral assessment (minimum 5 years instructing experience required for assessment.)

City & Guilds NPTC, the biggest awarding body in the UK for vocational awards has now formally endorsed the KCAI Scheme, and awarded Centre Approval for the Kennel Club, offering the national qualification the ‘Kennel Club National Quality Award for Instructors in Dog Training and Canine Behaviour’.   This means that for the first time in the UK, instructors involved in teaching dog training and advising on canine behaviour will have the opportunity to gain a nationally recognised, credible and externally verified qualification. Dog owners and dog training enthusiasts will also benefit by having the reassurance of a national standard to ensure that they are provided with the best quality advice and service. This is awarded upon gaining the Kennel Club Accreditation. 

I am attaching some further information on the Scheme and if you have any queries once you have had a look through please let me know.

Kind regards

Clare"

So starting this year I shall work my arse off. Even if I'm not the best, I just wanted the qualification. So badly. I want to make this my career. I want to put the Mexican out of business with his cesar milan domminance be leafs. I will shove his shock and choke chains round his neck and shock the fat pri.....

Anyway. I'm excited. Can't stop reading the files.

Bye for now
