Dear Prospective
Student
Thanks for enquiring about the Add-on courses.
This needs a bit of explanation!
The Basic Animal behaviour course consists of four modules of which the
first two modules are on the principles of animal behaviour. These
principles are applicable on all animal species and are therefore
included as part of the curriculum of all the Basic Courses. The third
and forth modules of the course apply the principles of behaviour of the
specific species the student has enrolled for.
Students often are interested in enrolling for more than one of the
species that we offer. In such instances a student should decide which
of the four species they would like to do as their primary course for
which they pay the full fee (R5900). For the other (second, third,
forth) species the student then enrols for an’ Add-on’ course for which
the fee is 50% of the full fee (that is R3000.00) per extra species. So,
should a student want to enrol for the Basic Dog course and the Basic
Cat course, he/she could choose to do the Basic Dog course as the
primary course and the Basic Cat course as an add-on. The full enrolment
fee for the two courses will then be R5900 + R3000 = R8900.00.
The registration fee for the Basic course + and add-on course (s) will
be R3000 +R1500 for each add-on course.
For the Add-on courses the student receives the same study material and
assignments as for the primary course. Students enrolled for an ‘add-on’
will also write the same exam paper as the students who are doing the
course as their primary course and the same certificate is issued to
successful students.
The student will also be invited to attend the seminar attached to the
course. Please note that should you enrol for more than one species in
the same year it will not always be possible to attend a seminar for
each of the species as the seminar dates could overlap. Ask Dr Hurly (admin@ethology.co.za)
to advise on the best combinations.
An Add-on course can be done in the same year as the first or full
course or any time after the student has completed the full course. A
student can do one, two or three add-on courses in the same year.
