Proteus. Again. Argh.

sorry to hear that.
i was thinking of doing one...now not so sure

[JAM3S]

i nearly nearly signed up but after speaking to them on the phone they seemed so disorganised i decided not to bother. strikes me as they cant cope with the amount of people that want to do the course..... could be wrong though.

maybe theres a gap in the market for someone else to do a deacent one?

[sami]

yeah, there definately is...

the compass one looks so much better. i just did the proteus one cuz it was so well known!

i did the course, as i want to have a business / shop eventually. it looks good for people you are applying for loans to, and obviously for customers, for you to have Herp qualifications, as it shows (in theory) that you know what you are doing.

i'm doing animal management national diploma this year, so it will just add to that.


i tried the mobile number, but it's unobtainable, and the 08703 number i *finally* managed to find online was just constantly engaged...
it's impossible to search for proteus reptile trust online ~ you just get links to other sites... reptile rescue sites etc.
yesterday, their website wouldn't load at all.

i'm just so fed up of it.. i haven't really learnt anything from it.. but it was supposed to look good on paper.

ah well. these things happen i suppose

for the amount you actually learn its not worth the money at all. but if anyone does the compass one let me know how it goes!

hope you get it sorted.
they need a good kick up the bum!

[sami]

will do.

just need to raise the money to do the compass one, but it's double the price!

just hope it's worth it.

They will be getting a swift kick up the bum, one of those numbers will connect one day.

I've been trying to get thru to Proteus for months now, infact, it might be over a year. All they ever do is send me a price list, when I need to know dates of the practical bits. Rubbish!

For anyone wanting to do a herp course theres one at Sparsholt College, its a distance learning one and you go down for the practical weekend, I think its called Exotic Management and its more to do with husbandry and ethics I think. I'm hoping to do it this year but I'm not in the country for the induction day so I don't kno if I can
