We are proud to have our training assured by City & Guilds.

Our scent training programmes are unique! Offering you the opportunity to build a comprehensive knowledge of canine search, as well as achieving City & Guilds Assured Credentials, and gain these unique digital logos to include on your CV, marketing, website or social media.

City & Guilds Assured Credentials

We understand the importance of displaying your search dog training achievements. The successful candidate will be able to show these formally recognised Digital Credentials. Which will allow you to safely and securely validate the skills and knowledge you have gained.

You will be able to let your customers, potential employees and ‘the world’ know that your achievements are ‘here to be seen!’ As we understand that there are so many ‘hidden skills’ acquired within dog training that have not been formally recognised, in turn adding unverifiable claims to your canine training CV.

The College of Scent Dogs has been assured by City & Guilds proving the quality of our scent detection training. These programmes have gained recognition from City & Guilds demonstrating an excellent quality standard, giving you the knowledge, confidence and reassurance that our training is the best it can be.

Achieving your Digital Credentials

We all understand that dog training is not always an ‘instant skill’ that can be completed in a matter of days, particularly when becoming an instructor. This takes time, practice and experience. With this in mind we have developed a three tier system which is a fully supported course from the moment you start.

In order to achieve these recognised credentials the candidate must firstly complete three week in person training, plus complete the training records demonstrating your training skills. No other ‘Scent Training Programmes’ offer such detailed training programmes.

After completing the first two weeks of training, the candidate will be eligible to undertake the Instructor Week. This week involves practical assessments and a written knowledge check, which will equip the successful candidate with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to design and develop their own training courses.

The candidate will complete;

  • Phase One… The Handler Course

  • Phase Two… The Assessment Week

  • Phase Three… The Instructor Week
