Yes, the materials can be contextualised to reflect different domestic dog care environments, including animal shelters, boarding kennels and pet care facilities. Trainers can incorporate workplace-specific procedures, animal welfare practices and handling protocols to make learning relevant to their students’ intended employment settings.
Assessment activities should allow learners to demonstrate safe dog handling, routine care procedures, hygiene practices and recognition of basic animal health concerns. RTOs can use the ACMSPE316 assessment resources as a starting point for gathering evidence, with practical observations conducted under appropriate supervision and assessment conditions.
The unlimited student licensing option allows the purchasing RTO to use the licensed resources with an unlimited number of enrolled learners without recurring per-student resource fees. This can help reduce ongoing resource costs for organisations delivering animal care training across multiple cohorts, subject to applicable licence conditions.
