BEING PART OF THE NETWORK
A Supportive, Professional Community
Becoming an iPET Network Centre means joining a community that values partnership, transparency, and innovation. Our approach to Continual Professional Development (CPD) is proactive, we work alongside our Centres and sector experts to develop CPD opportunities that genuinely enhance teaching and assessment skills. Every iPET Centre must have a qualified Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) to award qualifications, but we go further by offering guidance, mentoring, and support throughout the quality assurance process. Our team is always available to help, ensuring you feel supported from day one. What truly sets iPET Network apart is authenticity. Every member of our team has real-world experience in grooming, daycare, kennels, or animal training, we understand the challenges because we’ve lived them. That’s why our qualifications evolve alongside the industry, not behind it. We believe education should be accessible to everyone, and we’re committed to breaking down barriers to help every Learner succeed.
We can’t praise iPET Network highly enough, on their centre guidance, support, feedback and encouragement. From, technical ePortfolio conundrums, to dog grooming queries, the iPET Network team is only a phone call, email or video chat away. This is one of the most highly organised and outstanding Awarding Organisations
