Course description
The OCNLR Level 4 Award in Canine Hydrotherapy is the next step for those who have already achieved a Level 3 canine or small animal hydrotherapy qualification, or a Level 4 Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy for Veterinary Physiotherapists. It offers you the opportunity to build on your existing knowledge and skills.
Each unit can be taken as a stand alone course which means students can spread the cost, study time and CPD hours for the Level 4 Award in Canine Hydrotherapy across a period of years.
The units all consist of a mixture of pre-attendance online study followed up with the completion of the practical element and the associated assignments.

Completion of e-learning lectures/webinars and pre-study revision tests are required prior to attendance at Greyfriars.
Accommodation / travel
Please enquire if you would like suggestions for accommodation or transport guidance. There is no public transport to Greyfriars (we are in the countryside the middle of a vineyard!) so you will need a car or to use a taxi/Uber – easily accessed from Guildford or Farnham.
