Yvonne Mackender is a tutor for COAPE International and offers hands-on workshops, seminars and practical Continuous Professional Development (CPD) courses in the UK.
​
CPD is an integral part of many canine professions including vets, vet nurses, canine hydrotherapists, groomers, boarding kennels, catteries, dog walkers, pet sitters, day care providers and pet shops by providing an opportunity to develop new or expand on existing skills.
​
COAPE can provide this CPD for you and is available in a number of formats and can be tailored to fit in with the information and skills that individual businesses require. Sessions can be run as full day; half day or as shorter daytime, weekend or evening presentations lasting just a couple of hours.
If you are looking for a qualification, we can arrange practical sessions alongside the online courses offered by COAPE International.
