The Pet Emergency Education training and orientation program provides a comprehensive, self-paced course designed for animal professionals who want to become certified instructors in animal emergency first aid and CPR. This asynchronous, on-demand course takes around 10 hours to complete, allowing participants to log in and out as needed. The course must be finished within 30 days.
For the best experience, we recommend using Google Chrome to access the course. While Safari, Microsoft Explorer, and Edge are also compatible, they may occasionally cause login issues.
If you need extra time to complete the program, a one-time 7-day extension is available. To request this, email info.petemergency@gmail.com with your reason for the delay.
The course includes videos, tutorials, readings, PowerPoint presentations, quizzes, and a final exam. Participants must review all materials thoroughly, as they are the basis for quizzes and the cumulative final exam. A score of 100% is required on each quiz and the final exam to pass and receive certification.
You will have up to five attempts for each quiz and the final exam. If you do not pass the course within these attempts, you will be removed from the program, with the option to reapply after 90 days, though re-enrollment is not guaranteed. Modules must be completed sequentially, and all modules are required before accessing the final exam.
Extensions for the program can be requested by contacting the instructor training manager before your course end date. Extensions are granted only for extenuating circumstances and are not guaranteed.
Instructor Kits are not mandatory at the start but must be purchased by Module 3 to qualify as a certified instructor and be eligible to teach.
Only certified instructors actively teaching with our company may use course materials, including presentations, curriculums, and logos. Unauthorized use will result in legal action.
After completing the foundational training, instructors can qualify to teach four additional specialty courses. However, these courses require specific expertise in the respective fields:
- EquiAid: Emergency First Aid for Horses
- PetCPR+: Advanced CPR and Emergency Care for Veterinary Professionals
- PetCPR+: For Grooming Professionals
To teach these courses, you must complete the foundational program and access relevant materials through the instructor portal, which becomes available upon graduation. Relevant experience and qualifications in the specific subject matter are also required.
