International Council for Online Educational Standards

Pet Sense College is proud to confirm that our courses have been successfully evaluated and we are officially accredited. One of the key benefits of ICOES is the provision of high-quality, verifiable, and cost-effective certificates for online graduates. These certificates are internationally recognized and serve as a testament to one’s accomplishments, increasing market value and offering a visible validation of achievement. Have a look at the About Us Page for more info.

Installment option Now Available.

Pay off your course by paying in installments. The registration fee and 1st module payment is required upfront, thereafter you can pay a minimum of R500 at a time for your next module. Please note that your next module must be paid up, before we will release it. Your deadlines for submissions must still be adhered to. This means you can pay over 4 months.

Price Drop!

We know that the economy is not doing well, and load shedding is hitting us all hard. With this in mind, we reexamined all our course prices and adjusted them to the fees we charged almost 4 years ago. Have a look through our website and you’ll find something to suit your pocket.
