This innovative global program has been developed by a team of registered specialists and covers the core feline subject areas. The comprehensive teaching materials and interactive format allow you to gain knowledge, skills and build an informed clinical approach to your feline patients.
Each of the 16 modules in the program is supported by a specialist tutor – to answer questions and support you on your learning journey.
FeIine Practice Online Learning is accredited by the International School of Veterinary Post Graduate Studies ISVPS as a training program for the General Practitioner Certificate in Feline Practice. *All registration fees for ISVPS are included in the course fees for this program.

I decided to study for Improve International’s Postgraduate Certificate in Feline Practice in order to increase my knowledge base and to build my confidence in dealing with feline cases. I have already noticed a vast improvement in my clinical confidence and abilities and now am even more driven to continue learning. The PgC has enabled me to enhance the level of care I provide to my and my colleagues patients. It has also instilled in me a more empathetic approach to feline patients in general within the practice.
