New Register for UK Petcare Professionals

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 20, 2011 -- The Accredited Pet Care Professional Register, established by the Pet Care Trust and administered by the Animal Care College, is the route to public and professional recognition for experienced and qualified specialists caring for companion animals.

The public understands the concept of ‘teacher’, ‘nurse’ or ‘lawyer’ but until now there has been no formal recognition of a Petcare professional.

‘Membership of the Register is a professional badge of honour’, said Janet Nunn, Chief Executive of the Pet Care Trust. ‘It underlines the member’s qualifications and experience and provides potential customers with confidence in them and the service they provide. The APCP web site provides a signposts to their services, a one-stop shop for customers looking for quality service from an accredited and dedicated professional’.

Open to anyone working in the animal care industry (including breeders, groomers, dog walkers, kennel workers, dog trainers or pet sitters), the standard entry process enables pet specialists committed to their continuous professional development to progress from Associate to full Membership. Those with evidence of two years practical experience and a Level III qualification worth 30 credits can fast track directly to full membership.

Full membership includes internal and external quality assurance costs, certification, listing on the web site and a membership pin badge. For more information log onto: www.accreditedpetcareprofessional.org.uk or call (01344) 636436
